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.

This is a permanent, full-time position, and you can be based from whichever of the firm's three offices suits you, with agile working on offer.
What We're Looking For
The firm is recruiting from newly qualified through to senior levels, and applications are welcome at any point in that range. You'll bring experience across that mix of work, whether built up through your training or over several years in practice.
Alongside the technical work, you'll have the ambition and skills to foster relationships with key stakeholders, both existing and new, and to contribute to building and driving a successful team.


Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Exposure to developer, investor or landowner mandates — and to options, pre-emption and overage structures in particular — will help you settle into the caseload quickly.
This could suit a commercial property solicitor at almost any stage: an NQ with strong commercial property training who wants a broad caseload from the start, a mid-level fee earner seeking a wider client base, or a senior solicitor ready to help build and grow the team within a multi-office, full-service firm.
