Description
We are seeking a Senior Lawyer to join our well-established and highly respected Employment Rights team, based across the firm. If you’re an experienced solicitor, barrister, or Legal Executive looking to take on challenging and rewarding work, we are waiting to hear from you.
The role
In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to manage a variety of large and complex employment rights cases, using your judgment and expertise to make daily decisions that significantly impact the cases you handle. You will also undertake advocacy in the Employment Tribunal (ET) at the case management stage. Working within a collaborative team, you’ll provide support to other team members, while also offering supervision and mentorship to junior colleagues.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who we are looking for
We’re looking for qualified professionals with a solid understanding of Employment Law and a proven ability to manage cases from start to finish. Your experience should include a strong grasp of the Employment Tribunal (ET) and Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) litigation process. In addition, we value clear and concise communicators who excel in leadership, thrive in a supportive team environment, and are passionate about the work we do. We actively encourage our lawyers to be strong advocates for our cause, building and nurturing relationships with trade union clients and officials both regionally and nationally.
