The Opportunity
A highly regarded London law firm is looking to strengthen its growing Commercial Property team with the appointment of a Commercial Property Associate at 4+ PQE.
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious solicitor to join a collaborative team advising a sophisticated client base on a broad range of high-value and complex commercial property matters.
The firm has an established reputation for delivering high-quality work and offers an environment where lawyers are given genuine responsibility, direct client exposure, and the opportunity to develop their own profile and client relationships.
The Role
You will work closely with Partners and senior lawyers across a varied commercial property caseload, whilst taking responsibility for your own matters with an appropriate level of autonomy.
The client base includes high-net-worth individuals, property investors, developers, luxury retail brands, and corporate clients, providing excellent exposure to sophisticated and commercially interesting work.
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.
