International Arbitration Associate – 2–4 PQE | London
We are working with a leading international law firm looking to add a 2–4 PQE Associate to its highly regarded London International Arbitration practice.
This is a growth hire rather than a replacement, driven by a particularly strong pipeline of mandates. At a time when workflow across the arbitration market can be uneven, this team remains exceptionally busy and is continuing to expand.
The practice handles sophisticated, high-value international commercial and investor-state arbitrations.
Associates gain exposure to matters including:
- Multi-billion-dollar energy and infrastructure disputes
- Gas price review arbitrations
- Renewable energy and EPC disputes
- Complex technology, licensing and IP-related disputes
- Cross-border commercial arbitrations
- Investor-state 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.
