International Arbitration Solicitor | 2–3 PQE | London

We’re working on an excellent opportunity for an International Arbitration solicitor to join the London office of a leading disputes firm.

International arbitration is at the heart of the London practice. The team handles complex, high-stakes and politically sensitive matters for corporates, investors, funds and sovereign states, often working across multiple jurisdictions.

The successful candidate will gain exposure to:

  • Investor–state and commercial arbitration
  • Energy and infrastructure disputes
  • Sovereign claims and sanctions-related matters
  • Shareholder, joint venture and post-M&A disputes
  • Enforcement of arbitral awards
  • Proceedings under ICSID, UNCITRAL, ICC and LCIA rules

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.
