NQ+ Litigation Solicitor (Military Claims)

Location: Cardiff

The Opportunity

We are recruiting for an NQ+ Litigation Solicitor to join a specialist military claims team in Cardiff, acting for current and former members of the Armed Forces in claims against the Ministry of Defence.

The team handles a range of military claims, with a particular focus on military deafness and non-freezing cold injuries.

This is an excellent opportunity for a claimant litigator to develop their career within a specialist and highly regarded team. This role will also require the successful candidate to assist with the supervision of a team of paralegals - so this role would be particularly suitable for solicitors looking for the opportunity to build on their management/supervision experience.

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.
