Contract Lawyer - Equity Solutions | Leading Investment Bank | Trading Floor

We're looking for an experienced Contract Lawyer to join the Legal team supporting the Equity Solutions business of a leading investment bank.

Based on the trading floor and working closely with front-office, credit and other stakeholders, you'll advise on sophisticated transactions for clients looking to finance, hedge, build or monetise strategic positions in listed equities.

The role offers exposure to a broad range of transactions, including margin lending, equity derivatives (options, collars, forwards and total return swaps), stake-building transactions, fund financing and prime finance.

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.
