Commercial Counsel
London | Hybrid (2 days per week) | Up to £100,000
We're working with a fast-growing, PE-backed UK business that has recently completed a significant acquisition and is entering an exciting new phase of growth.
This is a rare opportunity to join a lean legal team where you'll report directly to the General Counsel, become the principal legal adviser across the business and play a key role in shaping the legal function as the company continues to scale.
The Opportunity
This is a genuinely broad commercial role with exposure across legal, commercial and operational matters. You'll work closely with senior stakeholders, support strategic projects and have real influence over how the legal function develops.
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.
You'll advise on:
- Commercial contracts and strategic partnerships
- Supplier and distribution arrangements
- Business-wide legal and commercial advice
- Acquisition integration and contract migration
- Regulatory and compliance matters
- Managing external counsel
- Data protection and technology projects
- Legal processes, templates and playbooks
- Strategic transformation and growth initiatives
This isn't a narrow contracts role. It's an opportunity to become a trusted adviser to the business and make a visible impact.

- Commercially minded
- Pragmatic and solutions-focused
- Comfortable working autonomously
- Confident advising senior stakeholders
- Interested in helping build and improve legal processes
- Someone who enjoys variety and a fast-paced, growing business
