Corporate Associate (3–6 PQE) | Leading Private Capital Firm | London


What if your next move combined the best of private practice and in-house - without the usual trade-offs?

I'm working on an exclusive mandate with one of the world's leading private capital firms to appoint a talented Corporate Associate (3–6 PQE) to its London legal team.

This is a genuinely unique opportunity for an ambitious lawyer currently practising at a leading London law firm who is looking to take the next step in their career without compromising on the quality or sophistication of their work.

Unlike a traditional in-house role, this position offers a distinctive hybrid in-house/private practice model. You'll work closely with the business while continuing to advise on complex, high-value corporate and private equity transactions in a fast-paced, intellectually stimulating environment.

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.
