Role Overview
A leading US law firm is looking to hire a 2-3 PQE associate into its highly regarded International Arbitration team in London. The practice is widely recognised for its work on complex cross-border disputes, particularly across the energy, infrastructure, renewables and technology sectors, and continues to see strong growth off the back of an excellent pipeline of work.
Responsibilities
Associates can expect exposure to high-value commercial and investor-state arbitrations, including multi-billion-dollar energy disputes, joint venture conflicts, infrastructure claims, gas price review arbitrations, and complex technology and licensing matters.
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.
One of the key attractions of the role is the quality and consistency of the work. The team benefits from a steady flow of referrals from the firm's market-leading corporate, energy and technology practices, resulting in a diverse caseload and a strong long-term pipeline at a time when many arbitration teams are facing a more unpredictable market.
Role Details
The successful candidate will work closely with a number of highly regarded arbitration partners and gain hands-on responsibility from an early stage, including direct client exposure and involvement across all phases of arbitration proceedings. The team is known for its collaborative culture, low attrition, and genuine commitment to associate development and progression.
