About the Opportunity
McKervill Neilly Solicitors is seeking a solicitor to join our expanding general practice in Ballymena. We welcome applications from solicitors at all stages of their careers, from newly qualified solicitors looking to establish themselves in practice to experienced practitioners seeking a fresh challenge.
As an established general practice with a broad range of legal services, we offer the opportunity to work within a supportive environment, handle a varied caseload, and develop your career as part of our growing team.
We are interested in hearing from solicitors across all practice areas and are open to discussing opportunities that reflect the successful candidate’s experience, interests, and ambitions.
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.
