We are recruiting for an experienced Civil Litigation Solicitor to join an established and growing legal practice. This is a senior opportunity for a confident litigator with a minimum of 8 years’ PQE who is comfortable managing complex matters independently and providing clear, commercially focused advice to both individuals and businesses.

The Role

You will manage your own varied caseload of civil and commercial litigation matters from initial instruction through to resolution, including where appropriate court proceedings and alternative dispute resolution.

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.
