Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As well as pipeline validation, you will also manage external counsel, mentor and develop the legal team, as well as identify process, tech improvement.
We are looking for a hugely pragmatic, commercially aware litigator (8+ years PQE) who enjoys autonomy and securing results.
Ideally you will have plenty of insolvency law experience and a track record of developing junior fee earners. Alternatively you may be a more general litigator who has had exposure to insolvency, director duty, ADR, mediation and settlement strategies and keen to use your experience in a very different environment to private practice.
