A standout opportunity to develop your career in competition and regulatory law.

A leading international firm is seeking a competition lawyer to join its expanding team in either Edinburgh or Glasgow. This role offers high-quality, varied work within a collaborative and forward-thinking environment.

The Opportunity

You’ll work across a broad and stimulating range of matters, including:

  • Competition and merger advisory work
  • Behavioural and regulatory investigations
  • Competition litigation
  • Trade, sanctions and wider regulatory issues
  • Public procurement, subsidy control and consumer protection queries

You’ll also work closely with colleagues across key sectors such as technology, life sciences, energy and utilities, gaining exposure to cross-border matters and multidisciplinary projects.

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.
