JOB TITLE: Solicitor: Contentious Probate

PQE REQUIRED: 3-5

LOCATION: Berkshire

THE ROLE

A specialist Will Disputes and Contentious Probate team is seeking a litigation solicitor to join its growing practice.

The role will focus solely on contentious probate work, covering a broad mix of disputes arising from estates and trusts. This will include claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act, challenges to the validity of wills, executor and administrator disputes, estate administration issues, Court of Protection matters, and trust-related litigation.

The successful candidate will manage their own caseload while also contributing to larger, more complex matters alongside colleagues across both contentious and private client teams. The position offers close support and technical guidance within a well-established specialist team, alongside opportunities to build expertise in this niche area.

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.
