Senior Associate – Commercial Road Transport | Manchester

This is a role for someone who wants to work on interesting, commercially focused disputes and build their expertise within a specialist area, while having the backing of a broader full-service firm. You'll have the opportunity to work closely with clients on complex matters, take ownership of your work and contribute to the continued development of the practice.

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.
