You want a career in law? This is where it starts. At Barnes Law, we don’t hand out shortcuts or fancy titles. We give ambitious people the chance to prove themselves. You’ll begin with the foundations — filing, admin, support work — and you’ll be tested hard before you even get through the door. But if you show discipline, resilience, and potential, you’ll earn exposure to high-value, complex disputes and the chance to work alongside serious professionals.
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.
