Job Opportunity: Senior or Principal Associate in Birmingham
We are looking for a Senior or Principal Associate to join a leading Corporate team in Birmingham, undertaking a wide spectrum of high-quality corporate work, principally M&A, PE, JE and group restructurings, working collaboratively with a team led by several partners.
Role Overview
As part of a national team, the Birmingham corporate practice provides comprehensive corporate legal advice with a strong emphasis on M&A and private equity transactions. The team has a cohesive, supportive culture and is highly responsive and results-driven in its approach to clients and colleagues.
Recognised as a top-tier team by the leading legal directories, it is regarded as one of the strongest corporate practices outside London. While the team handles a significant volume of high-quality regional work, the majority of its transactions are for national and international clients, many of which are multi-jurisdictional.
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.
