Interim Legal Opportunities | Global Financial Institution | London
Three seats. One of the biggest platforms in the market. Zero back-seat roles.
We're partnering with a leading global financial institution on a run of high-impact interim mandates - the kind of opportunities that don't sit on job boards for long. If you're a lawyer who wants live, high-stakes exposure without the long-term commitment, this is worth a serious look.
Equity Derivatives Lawyer | 6 months
Join a business on a genuine growth trajectory. You'll be at the centre of new market expansion, major 2026 regulatory implementation (CCI, CRDVI), platform automation and AI-adoption initiatives, and pre-trade documentation enhancement. Fast start needed - this one won't wait.
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.

Credit & Lending Lawyer | 12 months+
A meaty, long-running mandate for a qualified lawyer with strong lending experience (leveraged or project finance a bonus, not essential). Real autonomy, real stakeholder exposure - you'll be trusted to shape commercially sound outcomes and engage senior management directly, not just execute instructions.
Leveraged Acquisition & Event Financing Lawyer | ~5 months
Interim cover on a high-profile leveraged and event financing desk while a permanent hire is secured. Ideal for a TLB-literate finance lawyer who wants to step straight into live, complex, cross-border deal flow with immediate impact.
