Litigation Solicitor

Litigation Solicitor (Locum) – 5+ Years’ PQE, Essex / Hybrid | GBP £35–£50 Per Hour

Ref: 4467

An outstanding locum opportunity has emerged for an experienced Litigation Solicitor to support a prestigious law firm through their permanent recruitment process.


About the Role

A sought-after Locum Litigation Solicitor is needed to provide frontline support within a thriving litigation team. From day one, you’ll operate fully independently, managing your own caseload—from first instruction to final resolution—with minimal oversight.

Key duties include:

  • Delivering client-focused, commercially astute legal advice across diverse contentious matters.
  • Ensuring efficient file progression whilst maintaining the highest standards of client service.
  • Demonstrating confidence, skill, and proactivity in straight-level litigation work.

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.
