Employment Associate – Contentious Opportunity at a Leading International Law Firm


About the Firm

My client is a top-tier international law firm with a market-leading reputation for advising organisations at the forefront of technology, innovation, and digital transformation.

Notable strengths include:

  • Collaborative culture
  • Global platform
  • Commercial IP team to drive growth-focused delivery

The Opportunity

The Legal 500 ranked Employment practice is one of the UK’s leading teams, specialising in advisory solutions for private and public sector clients across their most complex and sensitive employment issues.

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.
