A major international law firm is looking to strengthen its London Corporate Lending team with an Associate or Senior Associate at 3-8 PQE.

The practice is highly regarded for lender-side corporate finance and investment-grade lending, acting for major banks alongside significant corporate borrowers. Their work covers syndicated and bilateral facilities, refinancing, acquisition-related financing and other secured and unsecured lending, often involving multiple jurisdictions. The wider finance also offers exposure to leveraged finance, private credit, fund finance and restructuring matters.

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.
