Property Litigation Solicitor | NQ-3 PQE | Staffordshire
Location: Staffordshire
PQE: NQ-3
Practice Area: Property Litigation
Working: Hybrid
I'm working with a highly regarded law firm in Staffordshire that is continuing to invest in and grow its Property Litigation offering. As part of that growth, they are looking to appoint a Property Litigation Solicitor at NQ-3 PQE.
This is an opportunity for a solicitor who wants more than simply another role. You'll join an established team with a strong reputation in the market, working closely with leading Partners and senior lawyers and gaining exposure to high-quality, complex property disputes.
The Opportunity
The team acts for a diverse range of clients, from property developers, investors and commercial occupiers through to businesses, landowners and individuals. You'll gain exposure to a broad range of property litigation, including:
- Commercial landlord and tenant disputes
- Lease renewals and dilapidations
- Break clauses and forfeiture
- Restrictive covenants and easements
- Rights of light, trespass and possession disputes
- Property contract claims
- Professional negligence claims involving property professionals
- Contentious commercial and residential property matters
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.

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.

Why This Role?
The key attraction is the growth and opportunity within the team. The firm is investing in its property disputes offering, creating an excellent platform for an ambitious NQ-3 PQE solicitor to establish themselves and progress. You'll work directly with experienced Partners and leading lawyers, gaining valuable exposure to their clients, cases and approach to property litigation.
There is also genuine scope to develop beyond fee-earning. The team encourages junior lawyers to become involved in client relationships, business development and the wider growth of the practice, giving you the opportunity to build your own profile within the market.
The firm also offers hybrid working and flexibility, alongside strong support and supervision. You'll have the freedom to take increasing responsibility as your experience develops, while benefiting from a collaborative team environment when working in the office.
