Our procurement litigation team
Our procurement litigation team advises clients on a wide range of contentious procurement matters, from the provision of advice around procurement risk management to conducting High Court litigation to trial. Our clients include major corporates (across a range of markets including IT, infrastructure, construction, transport, and energy), central government departments, local authorities, and NHS bodies. We act for both Claimants and Defendants, giving our lawyers the opportunity to develop a broad range of skills where no two days are the same.
We are a highly renowned team, described by Chambers 2026 as having "a formidable litigation arm dedicated to procurement challenges".
In addition to procurement disputes, the team advises on a range of commercial disputes for both private sector and public sector.
The role
You will be working as part of a national procurement litigation team consisting of 8 qualified lawyers who primarily work out of the Bristol and Leeds offices. You will also be working within our wider corporate, commercial and public law litigation team with the opportunity to be involved in more specialist areas including: judicial review, complex IT disputes, claims for injunctive relief, corporate litigation (including breach of warranty claims and shareholder disputes), contentious IP, defamation/harassment actions, breach of confidentiality claims, commercial contract disputes, and professional negligence.
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.
