Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Commercial
- Drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts
- Supply, distribution and services agreements
- Technology and IT agreements
- Licensing arrangements
- Data protection and commercial privacy matters
- Terms and conditions and other day-to-day commercial work
A key element of the role will be servicing existing clients, developing trusted relationships and becoming a go-to adviser for their UK legal requirements.
You will have regular contact with senior stakeholders, in-house legal teams and business leaders and will be expected to provide practical advice aligned with their commercial objectives.

We are looking for a solicitor with:
- Strong experience across both Corporate and Commercial law

Experience working with international or multinational businesses would be highly advantageous.
Why Join?
This is an excellent opportunity for a solicitor who wants to combine high-quality corporate transactions with substantial commercial work and direct client responsibility.
You will work with sophisticated international businesses and household-name organisations, gain significant client exposure and enjoy a broad remit within a growing, entrepreneurial City practice.
The role would suit someone looking to move away from a highly specialised environment and take greater ownership of client relationships and matters.
If you are a Corporate & Commercial solicitor looking for a broader, more client-focused role within a growing City practice, this could be an excellent next step.
