Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The work includes exposure to high-value, strategically important disputes, offering early responsibility and valuable litigation experience. Larger cases are well resourced with associate support. This opportunity offers exceptional experience in case strategy, evidence, and trial preparation. Larger matters are well resourced, and this is not an isolated role — you will be part of a broader, well-established property litigation group.
The firm also invests heavily in its junior lawyers through a structured academy, providing training, development, and extensive opportunities to socialise and network across the firm.
The Candidate
- Newly qualified solicitor up to 4 years’ PQE in property litigation
- Strong technical grounding with a pragmatic, commercial approach
- Keen to learn from a senior solicitor advocate with extensive disputes experience
- Confident handling responsibility appropriate to level
