NQ Real Estate Disputes Solicitor | Birmingham | £67,000
I'm working with a highly regarded national law firm that is looking to appoint an NQ Solicitor into its Real Estate Disputes team in Birmingham.
This is an excellent opportunity for an NQ who wants to build their career within a strong, established disputes practice, working alongside experienced lawyers on a varied caseload of property-related disputes.
The role
You'll have the opportunity to advise a broad range of clients on matters including:
- Commercial landlord & tenant disputes
- Property and land disputes
- Lease renewals and dilapidations
- Breaches of covenant
- Possession and recovery proceedings
- Easements, restrictive covenants and boundary disputes
- Wider contentious real estate matters
The team acts for a varied client base, providing exposure to quality work and the opportunity to develop technically within a supportive environment.
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.
