Senior Private Client Solicitor | Lewes | Up to £85,000
Are you an experienced Private Client Solicitor looking for a role where your experience is genuinely recognised and where you can take the next step in your career?
I’m working exclusively with a highly regarded, Chambers-ranked law firm in Lewes that is looking to appoint a 5+ PQE Senior Private Client Solicitor to join its established team.
This is much more than a fee-earning position.
You’ll take responsibility for managing a small Private Client team, providing guidance and support to junior fee earners while continuing to handle a high-quality caseload of HNW and international 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.
