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.
- The team advises clients on high-value, cross-border disputes across a broad range of sectors and jurisdictions, acting in commercial arbitrations under major institutional rules as well as investment treaty, State-investor, and State-State disputes, often involving billion-dollar claims.
- You'll work directly alongside an experienced Partner and a small, collaborative team, giving you exceptional exposure from day one. Unlike larger international firms, this role offers genuine responsibility, including the opportunity to play a proactive role in case strategy, client management, and, for those with the ambition, developing advocacy skills.
- The firm is known for providing outstanding Partner access, hands-on experience, and a clear commitment to developing its lawyers into recognised experts within their field.
