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.
Throughout the week, you'll:
- Grow with us by building confidence and developing skills such as CV writing, interviews, communication, and teamwork.
- Create lasting impact by learning how legal and business professionals help clients solve important challenges and make a difference.
- Make every voice heard by meeting people from a range of backgrounds and taking part in interactive workshops where everyone's ideas matter.
- Own it, together by working with other students on team challenges and seeing how collaboration helps achieve great results.
You'll also learn about a variety of careers across the firm, including:
- Legal teams
- Finance
- Marketing
- IT
- Corporate Responsibility
- Client Support and Operations
Whether you're already interested in law or simply exploring your options, this programme will help you gain valuable experience, develop new skills, and learn more about the world of work.
