What if self-employment did not mean starting from scratch?
We are helping experienced solicitors in Birmingham explore self-employment with the infrastructure, support, and credibility needed to build a sustainable practice.
This is for solicitors who want more control over their work, income, clients, and future, but do not want to build everything alone.
- You may already have clients.
- You may have a following.
- Or you may simply have strong technical skill, a clear practice area, and the ambition to build your own client base with the right support around you.
This Is Not a Traditional Role
It is a pathway into self-employment with a safety net.
You keep the upside of your own work while receiving the support needed to operate professionally, confidently, and sustainably.
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 This Is For
3+ PQE Solicitors who:
- Want more control over their legal career
- Are interested in consultant or self-employed practice models
- Have a clear practice area or client market
- Want to keep more of what they bill
- Want support with business development, referrals, and client acquisition
- Do not want to stay limited by salary bands, firm politics, or rigid career structures
The Result
Most solicitors do not want to leave law.
They want to leave the parts of law that make the career feel smaller than it should.
This is an opportunity to explore whether your legal skill could become your own practice, with the infrastructure and support to make the move properly.
