About Capital Law

Capital Law is a growing commercial law firm. We work with clients across the UK and internationally, providing high quality services to the private, public and third sectors. With a focus on delivering exceptional services to our clients, we foster an environment where our employees can thrive, grow and make a real impact.

The Role

Due to continued strategic growth and high client demand we are looking for an experienced property litigator to join our existing group of property litigators within our highly regarded Disputes team in Cardiff. We work with owners, landlords, tenants, property developers, and housing associations to iron out property disputes. We work flexibly and team members work from home and/or from either of our offices.

You will have a passion for contentious work (primarily contentious property work) and your caseload will be varied. You will handle your own matters with supervision and assist the partners on more complex matters. You’ll also be involved in a range of business development activities. This is an excellent opportunity to develop your career and reputation as part of a growing commercial disputes team.

Key Requirements

  • Manage a varied caseload of property litigation matters.
  • Experience of advising on commercial landlord and tenant disputes, boundary and access issues, and strategic dispute resolution.
  • Work closely with colleagues to resolve complex cases.
  • Develop and maintain relationships with clients.
  • Pursue continuous professional development opportunities.

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.
