Commercial Property - Associate all the way up to Senior/Managing Associate level!!
Commercial Property is really, really busy again here in the Bristol market currently, with a number of the leading firms all competing to hire to continue to build their already strong teams.
In particular we are working on two brand new Associate to Senior/Managing Associate roles at the moment, and both look like excellent openings. One is with an excellent, high profile Top 50 firm, the other with a leading mid-sized Bristol practice that in particular has an excellent reputation across its work for their Real Estate sector clients.
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.
