An exceptional opportunity has arisen for a qualified Litigation Solicitor (CILEX acceptable) with a leading law firm and market leader in litigation and debt recovery.
My client is a multi-branch legal firm and a market leader in litigation and debt recovery.
Due to an ever-increasing workload within this very successful Recovery Team, my client is looking to appoint a further qualified solicitor (CILEX also acceptable) experienced in litigation.
The role
The role will involve managing and leading an established team and require an office presence in Grimsby, although 1-2 days may be possible from the Hull office.
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.
