Senior Associate - Real Estate

A major international law firm is looking to add a Senior Associate to one of the most established real estate practices in the London market.

The Team

The team operates across the full property lifecycle, with particular strength in high-value development, investment, complex joint ventures, and real estate finance. Its broader platform includes planning, construction, disputes, funds, and tax, giving associates the opportunity to work on transactions where the real estate issues sit within a wider corporate or financing structure.

The client base includes major institutional investors, private capital, and other significant domestic and international participants in the property market. The practice regularly handles substantial residential and commercial developments, investment transactions, and sophisticated financing arrangements.

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.
