Senior Legal Project Manager

Our client is seeking a Senior Legal Project Manager to join its highly regarded Litigation, Arbitration & Employment team in London. This is a strategic and commercially focused role, partnering directly with senior lawyers and partners to drive excellence in legal service delivery across complex, high-value matters.

This is far more than traditional project management.

You'll be at the heart of matter strategy, helping teams improve efficiency, profitability, client experience and innovation, while influencing how legal services are delivered in a rapidly evolving market.

What you'll be doing:

  • Partnering with lawyers and partners on complex disputes and employment matters
  • Leading matter planning, budgeting, resource management and delivery
  • Driving process improvement, innovation and legal technology adoption
  • Supporting pricing strategies and financial performance
  • Providing coaching, training and best-practice guidance across the business
  • Collaborating with Finance, Pricing, Technology, Knowledge and BD teams
  • Acting as a trusted advisor to stakeholders at all levels

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.
