Are you a litigation solicitor looking to build your career within a highly regarded property disputes team? We're working with a leading South Wales law firm that is looking to appoint a Property Litigation Solicitor to join its growing Dispute Resolution department.

- Managing a varied caseload of property litigation matters from instruction through to resolution.
- Advising clients on landlord and tenant disputes, possession proceedings, nuisance claims, boundary disputes, and property-related litigation.
- Preparing court documents, witness statements, and legal correspondence.
- Representing clients at hearings and negotiating settlements where appropriate.
- Working closely with clients to provide practical, commercially focused advice.
- Supporting junior team members where required and contributing to the continued growth of the department.
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.
