NQ -2 year PQE | Commercial Litigation Solicitor | London | Hybrid | Salary circa £50,000 DOE

I am currently recruiting for a well-established specialist litigation firm in London, recognised by The Legal 500 as a Firm to Watch for Commercial Litigation. The firm is expanding its London team and is looking for a solicitor who wants to build a long-term career in commercial disputes.

This excellent opportunity for an NQ -2 years Commercial Litigation Solicitor role offers early responsibility, high-value disputes and the chance to learn directly from a highly experienced Senior Associate.

The role

You will support the Senior Associate on complex matters and develop your own varied caseload with guidance. Your work will include drafting court documents, preparing matters for proceedings and delegating appropriate tasks to the team’s paralegal.

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.
