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.
The Role
We're looking for an experienced Corporate Lawyer who can integrate into an existing team with minimal supervision. You'll be expected to take ownership of ongoing matters from day one, manage existing transactions, and confidently pick up new projects as they arise.
Whilst much of the work is borrower-side, including refinancing and acquisition finance, we're seeking a well-rounded lawyer with strong experience across corporate finance matters rather than a specialist in one niche area. You'll work across a varied portfolio of transactions, from straightforward matters to complex, high-value deals, while also providing guidance and support to junior members of the team.
This role offers significant client exposure, so you'll need to be confident managing client relationships, leading discussions, and delivering practical commercial advice throughout the lifecycle of transactions.

- Excellent drafting, negotiation, and project management skills.
- Strong commercial awareness and client relationship management experience.
- The confidence to support and mentor junior lawyers where required.
What's on Offer
- Initial 3-month contract with the potential to extend.
- ASAP start.
- High-quality, varied corporate finance and banking work.
