Your new company

Our client is a respected niche law firm that advises clients operating in a dynamic and fast-paced sector. The team acts on a broad range of contentious, regulatory and advisory matters, often involving high-profile clients and complex legal issues.

Your new role

This is an excellent opportunity to join a specialist disputes team advising on sporting disputes, arbitrations, disciplinary proceedings and regulatory investigations. You will work closely with leading practitioners in the field, handling high-profile matters whilst developing expertise within a niche and highly sought-after area of practice.

What you'll need to succeed

You should be a qualified solicitor at NQ level or with up to circa 4 years' PQE. Previous experience in sports regulatory work would be advantageous but is by no means essential. Applications are welcomed from high-calibre commercial litigation lawyers seeking to develop a specialist practice in this area.

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.
