Employment Solicitor | 4–5 PQE | London | Up to £90,000
Top London Firm | Legal 500 Recognised | A Firm to Watch
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Employment Solicitor to join a highly regarded London law firm with an excellent reputation in the market and a growing employment practice.
Recognised by the Legal 500 and described as a firm to watch, this is an excellent opportunity to join an ambitious, forward-thinking team offering high-quality work, strong client relationships and genuine scope for career development.
The role will have a predominantly respondent-focused caseload, with an approximate 70% respondent and 30% claimant split, providing exposure to a varied and interesting range of employment matters.
The Role:
- Advising employer clients on a broad range of contentious and non-contentious employment matters.
- Managing employment tribunal claims and litigation, primarily on behalf of respondents.
- Advising on unfair dismissal, discrimination, whistleblowing, and contractual disputes.
- Supporting clients with day-to-day employment law issues and strategic HR advice.
- Handling claimant matters as part of a balanced and varied caseload.
- Building and maintaining strong client relationships while contributing to the continued growth of the practice.
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.
