What if self-employment did not mean starting from scratch?
We are helping experienced solicitors in Kingston upon Hull explore self-employment with the infrastructure, support, and credibility needed to build a sustainable practice.
About the Role
This opportunity is ideal for solicitors who wish to maintain control over their work, income, clients, and future but prefer not to do everything alone. You may already possess clients, a network, technical expertise in a clear practice area, or simply the ambition to develop a client base with appropriate backing.
This Is Not a Traditional Role It is a structured pathway into self-employment with a transparent safety net. It allows solicitors to retain the financial benefits of their own casework while accessing essential support, enabling professional, confident, and successful practice.
What You’ll Receive
- 70–100% of billables paid directly to you each month
- Flexibility to choose your own hours, clients, and practice location
- Full administrative, trust-accounting, and compliance support
- Professional indemnity insurance included
- Assistance to promote yourself and build your client network
- Access to platforms and infrastructure designed for self-employed lawyers
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.

Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Want more control over their legal career
- Are interested in consultant or self-employed practice
- Have a clear practice area or defined client market
- Seek to keep higher earnings from billable hours
- Require support with business development, referrals, and client acquisition
- Do not wish to be constrained by salary caps, firm politics, or rigid career structures
The Potential Outcome
Many solicitors do not wish to leave law entirely. Instead, they seek to move away from its stifling restrictions—navigating salary limits, rigid corporate structures, and frustrating firm policies. This initiative allows you to evaluate whether your legal expertise and skills can thrive as the foundation for your own independent practice.
How to Proceed
Apply confidentially to begin your journey towards self-employment in the legal field.
