Employment Senior Associate – 5-6 PQE

About the Firm

A leading full-service firm with a strong reputation in creative, technology, and media sectors. The firm combines deep sector knowledge with high-quality legal expertise, offering a collaborative, innovative environment with clear career progression opportunities.

The Role

This position sits within a top-tier Employment practice with exposure to a blend of contentious and non-contentious work. You will advise both employers and senior executives on complex employment matters, including contracts, terminations, settlement negotiations, reorganisations, TUPE, and restrictive covenants, as well as acting on high-value Employment Tribunal claims. The role also involves opportunities to contribute to business development initiatives and to handle work for high-profile and diverse clients.

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.
