Private Client Lawyer
Our client, a small but long established and well regarded practice, is seeking an experienced Private Client Solicitor to join their team.

About the Role
The successful candidate will handle a diverse range of Private Client matters, including Wills, Inheritance Tax planning, probate and estate administration, Lasting Powers of Attorney and elderly client matters. You will be expected to work with a high degree of autonomy, managing your own caseload with minimal supervision and delivering a high standard of client service.
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.
