Job Title: Senior Private Client Solicitor

Location: South West London (Office-Based)

Salary: Up to £70,000

Practice Area: Private Client

PQE: 6+ PQE

About the Opportunity

I'm currently working with a well-established and growing law firm in South West London that is looking to appoint an experienced Private Client Solicitor to join its expanding team. This is an excellent opportunity for a solicitor looking to take on a broad private client caseload while also playing a key role in supervising and developing a small, established team. The firm has built a strong reputation for client care and is seeking someone who enjoys building long-term client relationships and delivering high-quality legal advice.

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.
