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.

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.
- 3–8+ PQE or equivalent relevant experience
- Strong, demonstrable expertise in UK/EU sanctions
- Experience gained within a leading UK, US or international law firm, or sophisticated in-house legal team
- Exposure to US/OFAC sanctions highly advantageous
- Experience within shipping, energy, commodities or financial services desirable
- Qualification as a Solicitor in England & Wales or US-qualified Attorney based in the UK
This would suit a sanctions specialist who is comfortable operating autonomously, managing complex matters and providing practical, commercially focused advice in a fast-paced environment.
