Client Details

A market-leading organisation responsible for one of the UK's largest residential property portfolios, managing around 200,000 leasehold homes across England & Wales. The business is at the forefront of the UK's building safety agenda and is playing a key role in delivering complex, high-value remediation projects following recent regulatory reforms.

Description

We are looking to find a lawyer for specialist in-house team focused on some of the most significant construction issues currently facing the residential real estate sector. This is far more than a traditional construction role.

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.
