Interim Corporate / M&A Lawyer (3-Month Contract)

We're working with a leading global organisation seeking an experienced Corporate / M&A Lawyer to join its in-house legal team on an interim basis.

This is an excellent opportunity to take ownership of a high volume of transactional work within a fast-paced, international business. You'll work closely with senior stakeholders, corporate development teams, and external advisers, leading transactions from inception through to completion.

The Role

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Leading M&A transactions and acquisitions from initial structuring through to completion
  • Supporting post-acquisition integration activities and wider corporate restructuring projects
  • Managing transactions independently and driving matters forward with minimal supervision
  • Partnering with corporate development teams and senior business stakeholders
  • Coordinating multi-jurisdictional transaction workstreams and external counsel
  • Advising on corporate governance matters across the business
  • Supporting regulated M&A activities, including antitrust and competition-related considerations where required

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.
