Interim Commercial Lawyer
West London | Hybrid Working (3-days In Office) | Mid-September Start | 4 Month Assignment
I am seeking experienced Commercial Lawyers to support a significant commercial contracts programme within a large and fast-paced organisation based in West London.
This is a genuinely hands-on role and will suit someone who remains actively involved in contract negotiation and stakeholder engagement rather than operating purely at a strategic leadership level.
Key Responsibilities
- Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a high volume of commercial agreements.
- Advising procurement, commercial, and operational stakeholders on contractual risk and commercial outcomes.
- Negotiating supplier and vendor agreements.
- Drafting and negotiating Master Services Agreements (MSAs).
- Drafting and negotiating Statements of Work (SOWs).
- Supporting technology, software, and SaaS contracting requirements.
- Advising on outsourcing, managed services, and professional services arrangements.
- Helping drive contracts through to execution within demanding timeframes.
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.
