An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Associate Employment Solicitor to join the highly regarded Employment team of a Legal 100 law firm with a strong national presence.

Renowned for delivering commercially focused advice to a diverse client base, the team advises national and international businesses, owner-managed companies, charities, educational institutions and senior executives on the full spectrum of employment law matters. This is an excellent opportunity to join a collaborative and ambitious practice recognised for its technical expertise, high-quality work and long-standing client relationships.

The Role

Working alongside leading Employment Partners, you will advise on a broad range of contentious and non-contentious employment matters, including:

  • Providing strategic day-to-day employment law advice to employers across a range of sectors.
  • Advising on complex disciplinary, grievance, performance management and capability issues.
  • Managing Employment Tribunal claims from inception through to final hearing.
  • Advising on redundancies, restructures, TUPE transfers and business reorganisations.
  • Drafting and negotiating employment contracts, service agreements, policies and staff handbooks.
  • Advising on the employment aspects of corporate transactions, including mergers, acquisitions and business sales.
  • Advising senior executives on settlement agreements, restrictive covenants and exits.
  • Supporting business development initiatives and maintaining strong client relationships.
  • Supervising and mentoring junior lawyers while contributing to the continued growth of the Employment team.

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.
