The work:

- Road transit recovery claims and related liability disputes
- Matters spanning sea, road, rail, and air carriage, plus warehousing and storage
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.
Why it's worth a conversation:
- Rare breadth — most cargo/marine seats specialize in one mode of transport; this covers the full logistics chain
- Strong international referral network and genuinely cross-border, high-value work
- Real autonomy running your own matters from inception to resolution
- Clear route to develop your own practice, with supervision/mentoring responsibilities and BD involvement built in
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
What we're looking for:
- England & Wales qualified solicitor with strong PQE in marine, shipping, transport, or insurance litigation
- Solid cargo/transportation liability recovery experience; cross-border exposure a strong plus
- Freight, demurrage, and hire dispute knowledge advantageous but not essential
- Commercially minded, comfortable running matters independently, keen to build client relationships
