About Us
Switalskis is an award-winning law firm, recently listed in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work for the third consecutive year.
Established in 1993 by Stephen Switalski, we began with a focus on child care law and criminal law from a single office in Wakefield. Since then we’ve expanded to 12 locations employing approximately 400 people who provide a wide array of specialist legal services.
A career at Switalskis means being part of a firm that cares and is here for you. We’re dynamic and progressive, and we never stand still. We have been recognised as Large Firm of the Year at The Yorkshire Legal Awards and named in the top 50 fastest growing companies in Yorkshire in the Yorkshire Growth Index.
The Role
We are looking for a Junior Fee Earner (NQ - 2 Years PQE) to join our Commercial Property team. This is an excellent opportunity to work alongside experienced solicitors, gain exposure to a broad range of commercial property matters, and develop your career through high-quality work, training, and supervision.
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.
