What we do?
Buccleuch Property is a highly respected private property investment and development company with a long-established track record for outstanding delivery and market-beating returns. As a well-financed, independent, family-owned business, we can quickly take advantage of new opportunities and markets and are a trusted partner who can invest in, manage or deliver exceptional projects.
The role?
We are looking for an experienced commercial property solicitor to provide commercially focused and pragmatic legal advice, taking ownership of a broad and varied remit. Working as sole counsel, you will support the business across a range of commercial property matters, with a particular focus on investment acquisitions, disposals and asset management. You will advise on commercial, construction, corporate, governance, regulatory and dispute matters, helping the business to identify, manage and escalate material legal risk.
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.
