Property Litigation Associate

Exeter

A great opportunity to join a modern, ambitious regional law firm with a strong reputation across the South West. You'll be part of a growing Property Litigation team handling a broad mix of contentious property work for private clients, corporates, retailers, landowners and developers.

This opportunity would ideally suit a solicitor with 1–4 years' PQE, although exceptional NQ Solicitors will also be considered, particularly those who have completed a Property Litigation seat during their training contract and can demonstrate additional relevant property litigation experience.

You'll be:

  • Managing your own varied caseload across all areas of property litigation
  • Advising on development land disputes (including telecoms), property contracts and landlord and tenant issues
  • Working closely with clients from day one, with strong supervision to build confidence and independence
  • Contributing to the team's growth and wider business development activities

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.
