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.
About you
We are looking for a qualified solicitor with 3+ years' PQE and experience across M&A and commercial legal work.
You will ideally have a combination of private practice and in-house experience, although this is not essential. Experience within a fast-paced or growing business would be advantageous.

- Excellent drafting, negotiation and communication skills.
