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.
You will form part of a highly regarded legal team that the business looks to for commercially minded solutions, not just technical advice, so you must be a lawyer with sound commercial acumen and be adept at relaying your advice to non-lawyers. As such, you will likely hail from a relevant in-house legal team or be in private practice with in-house experience from a secondment.
Arbuthnot Yon has a long-standing relationship with this client, and it’s notable that over the years, this legal team has a very impressive retention rate of lawyers, stemming not only from a stimulating diet of work, but an inclusive, respectful and collaborative working culture, strong relationships with stakeholders, healthy work-life balance and a generous/flexible allowance to work from home on a weekly basis.
