This is an exciting chance to become part of a successful and ambitious practice, working from its modern Leigh-on-Sea office while helping clients through some of life's most important decisions.

The firm is seeking a compassionate, professional Solicitor who combines strong technical expertise with exceptional interpersonal skills. You'll work closely with both new and existing clients, delivering tailored legal advice across a varied range of private client matters while building trusted, long-term relationships.

About The Firm

This well-established, family-run law firm has built an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality legal services with a personal touch.

  • Building long-lasting client relationships based on trust, professionalism and empathy.
  • Drafting legal documents accurately and efficiently.
  • Maintaining excellent file management and record keeping.
  • Ensuring compliance with Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) regulations and firm procedures.
  • Working collaboratively with colleagues to achieve departmental targets and KPIs.

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.
