Private Client Solicitor

This highly regarded firm with an excellent reputation in the Sussex/Kent area and beyond are now looking to recruit a further Solicitor into a senior position within their team.
About the Role
Working alongside a Partner and an experienced team, you will manage your own busy HNW caseload of Wills, probates, LPA’s & EPA’s, COP matters and complex estate administration.
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.
