The Client

I am currently working with a leading global financial institution that is looking to hire an Equity Derivatives Lawyer into its highly regarded legal team.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a sophisticated markets platform, advising on a broad range of equity derivatives transactions and working closely with the trading, structuring, sales, risk, and compliance teams.

The Role

The role will involve:

  • Advising on a wide range of OTC and listed equity derivatives products
  • Drafting and negotiating related trading agreements
  • Supporting new product development and strategic business initiatives
  • Providing legal advice on regulatory developments affecting the equities business
  • Working closely with stakeholders across the front office and wider control functions

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.
