I am currently working with a Silver Circle law firm looking to recruit a 3-4PQE Commercial Litigation Associate into their expanding team.
The successful candidate must have experience of High Court litigation and be UK qualified having been trained at a top City firm. Experience in banking litigation is also desirable.
This is an opportunity to join a growing team which is recognised for its international capability to advise clients on a wide variety of complex, large scale disputes.
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.
