Exciting opportunity for an experienced commercial litigator

At Partner or Legal Director level (dependent on experience) to join this top-notch, national CDR team, taking key responsibility for CDR matters in Leeds and reporting to the national head of CDR.

This multi-service law firm is attracting top talent into its offices and is known for its collegiate and entrepreneurial approach. Whilst it boasts an impressive roster of household name clients, the firm definitely does not subscribe to a long hours culture.

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.
