I’m currently recruiting for an experienced Personal Injury & Clinical Negligence Solicitor to join an award-winning multi-service law firm.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced solicitor looking for a role where they can take ownership of their caseload, work with a high degree of autonomy and play an important role within a specialist PI & Clinical Negligence team.
The Opportunity

- 💰 £70,000–£75,000 depending on experience
- 📍 Watford Junction
- 🏠 Up to 2 days' WFH per week
- ⏰ 35-hour working week
- 📅 Permanent, full-time
You will manage your own caseload from inception through to completion, dealing directly with clients, experts and other parties, advising on liability and quantum, progressing litigation and negotiating settlements.
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.

This is likely to appeal particularly to someone who has experience working within a smaller practice environment and enjoys having ownership of their work rather than being one of many fee earners within a large department.
