About the Role

This is a rare opportunity for a Litigation Partner to join a growing regional law firm in Leeds and take ownership of developing its litigation offering. You will have the opportunity to build a practice, work closely with established Partners across the firm and develop relationships with both existing and new clients.

Client Details

Our client is a progressive, values led commercial law firm with an established presence across the North of England. The firm has built a strong reputation for providing commercially focused legal advice, with a clear emphasis on understanding its clients, building long term relationships and finding practical solutions rather than simply presenting legal options.

The firm is entrepreneurial, with a culture that encourages its lawyers to be creative. It has also received recognition for its people focused approach and commitment to creating an inclusive, supportive and high performing workplace.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
