Planning Solicitor | 1-5 PQE | Midlands
I'm currently working with a specialist regional law firm that is looking to appoint a Planning Solicitor as part of the continued growth of its team. This is a great opportunity for a Planning Solicitor looking to join a well-established, specialist practice with a broad client base and a genuinely collaborative working environment.
The role
You'll have the opportunity to work across a broad range of planning matters, advising a varied client base that includes landowners, businesses and developers. The work is likely to include:
- Planning applications and general planning advice
- Planning appeals
- Enforcement matters
- Planning agreements and obligations
- Section 106 agreements
- Certificates of Lawfulness
- Development-related planning work
- Advising clients on planning strategy and potential development opportunities
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The team handles a mixture of contentious and non-contentious planning work, giving you the opportunity to build a broad practice rather than being restricted to one particular area.
The firm
The firm offers something a little different from the traditional larger regional or City firm environment. You'll be joining a close-knit team where you'll have direct Partner access, strong supervision and genuine scope to develop your career. There is a real emphasis on collaboration and supporting people to progress over the longer term. The firm also places a strong emphasis on work-life balance, with sensible expectations around chargeable hours and a flexible approach to working.

About you
The firm is open to hearing from Planning Solicitors at various experience levels. You might currently be working within a dedicated Planning team or have developed planning experience as part of a broader Property, Development or Rural practice. The key is that you're looking for a role where you can develop your planning expertise, take on good quality work and become part of a supportive team.
