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.
Unlike many international firms the culture is refreshingly approachable and collaborative, offering City calibre work without the intensity often associated with larger global practices. The result is an environment where ambitious lawyers can thrive while maintaining an excellent work life balance.
The Role
You will work alongside leading Banking partners advising an impressive client base of banks, financial institutions, borrowers, investors and corporate clients on a broad range of complex finance transactions spanning corporate lending, real estate finance, acquisition finance, syndicated and bilateral lending, development finance, refinancing, security arrangements and wider structured finance matters.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Thanks to the firm's exceptional Real Estate and Corporate practices you will benefit from a consistent flow of sophisticated, high value transactions and opportunities to work closely with colleagues across multiple disciplines. This is a team with genuine momentum, offering early responsibility, direct client exposure and outstanding mentoring from nationally recognised Banking lawyers, providing an excellent platform to accelerate your technical development and progress within a leading international practice.
