The Firm

Established in 2020, KP Law (previously Keller Postman) is a specialist litigation boutique, focussing on collective redress. The firm has over 100 employees across offices in London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Liverpool, representing over 250,000 individual clients across a range of cases in areas such as product liability, competition, worker rights, data breach and privacy, and financial services.

Our ethos is to combine the best legal talent with a strong operational and technological platform to enable its clients to pursue cases that could not otherwise be brought against large corporates as a result of their wrongdoing.

Uniquely, KP Law is owned and fully financed by a recognised UK litigation funder (Legatus Holdings), this allows us to take on larger, headline-making cases with greater efficiency and confidence. All of our cases are for claimants and carried out under contingent fee agreements at no cost or risk to its clients.

KP Law was ranked Tier 1 for Group Litigation: Claimant in The Legal 500 UK Guide 2026, and Band 2 for Group Litigation: Claimant in Chambers and Partners 2026.

  • Developing and maintaining relationships with internal and external stakeholders to progress and manage cases.

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.
