A global law firm has a new opportunity for an experienced Corporate ECM lawyer to join them on an interim basis to cover substantial workload / deal flow.

The firm has a highly ranked team that specialises in floating and raising capital, IPOs, domestic and cross border M&A transactions, including public takeovers.

They would love to hear from Capital Markets lawyers with upwards of 5 years’ PQE in ECM corporate transactions, gained in the UK market. Candidates must have in depth experience of Public M&A and Takeover Code matters. This is an interim requirement to start this summer and work until the new year.

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.
