We are working with a major US-headquartered law firm seeking a commercial litigation associate to join its highly regarded London disputes practice.
The team is independently ranked for premium commercial litigation and particularly well known for large-scale, cross-border disputes. Its recent caseload includes ones of the largest group actions to come before the English Courts, alongside significant contractual, shareholder, post-M&A and financial disputes. The wider practice also offers exposure to competition litigation, investigation and international arbitration.
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.
