Major, Lindsey & Africa are working with one of Europe's most established consumer businesses, who are looking for someone to spearhead their Legal Operations strategy. It will be their first hire in this area, and is well-suited to a mid-senior level commercial contracts and/ or technology lawyer with some exposure to legal operations, who is looking to make this the focus of their work. The role is initially on a 6-month contract, but the client envisions this being a longer-term engagement as the successful candidate will play a key part in establishing this aspect of their legal team.

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.
