About the Role
Our client is an international commercial bank who specialises in trade finance solutions in emerging markets, but whose coverage extends to treasury/investment services as well as real estate finance.
Due to strong performance, a newly created role for a finance lawyer has arisen in this organisation. Whilst lending matters are a key component of the work, the legal team covers a very broad remit, encompassing a wide scope of commercial contracts, treasury work, financial services regulation, and product development.
Requirements
We are looking for candidates who:
- Have a background in general banking/LMA suite of documentation (but whose practice could alternatively have a trade, receivables, asset, real estate, or project finance focus).
- Bring additional experience in commercial contracts drafting and negotiation (e.g. technology, outsourcing, or service-level agreements).
- Have a sense of the regulatory environment that banking entities occupy and can advise on relevant/upcoming regulatory change in this arena.
- Ideally have treasury experience, though this is by no means a pre-requisite.
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.
