About the role
Are you ready to take the next step in your career in legal costs? Join a dynamic boutique legal costs consultancy that handles high-value, complex work on behalf of prestigious, top-tier clients. With a focus on commercial, human rights, and clinical negligence matters, this firm collaborates with some of the best solicitors across the country, offering expert drafting, advice, and advocacy.
We are looking for a driven, sharp, and results-oriented professional with at least 2 years of experience in drafting. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and are looking for varied, interesting work with room for professional growth, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
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.
