About the Role
A distinctive professional services firm is looking to appoint an ambitious Commercial Property Solicitor to join its growing legal team and support two busy and successful partners.
This is an opportunity to build your career in an environment that differs from a traditional law firm. The business brings together lawyers, accountants, tax advisers and other specialists under one roof, allowing its lawyers to collaborate across disciplines and provide clients with genuinely joined-up commercial advice.
The Team
The Commercial Property team acts for a varied mix of UK and international clients, including entrepreneurs, owner-managed businesses and established overseas organisations. You will gain hands-on experience from the outset, working closely with both partners while developing direct client contact and greater responsibility as your confidence grows.
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.
