Senior Employment Solicitor (6+ PQE) - London
A leading international law firm is seeking an experienced Employment Solicitor (6+ PQE) to join its highly regarded London employment team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a senior employment lawyer looking to join a market-leading practice that advises an impressive roster of multinational companies, financial institutions, technology businesses, and major UK employers. The team is recognised for handling a broad range of complex and high-value employment matters, offering a genuine mix of contentious and non-contentious work.
The successful candidate will advise on a wide variety of employment law issues, including strategic HR projects, workplace investigations, disciplinary and grievance matters, executive exits, TUPE, restructurings, redundancies, and the employment aspects of corporate transactions. The role also provides significant exposure to high-profile Employment Tribunal litigation and senior-level advisory work.
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.
