IP & Technology Transactions Lawyer | London | 2-5PQE
We are working with a leading international law firm seeking an ambitious junior associate to join its highly regarded IP & Technology Transactions practice in London.
The team advises on the IP, technology, data, and commercial aspects of sophisticated corporate transactions, alongside a broad range of standalone technology and commercial matters. The practice works closely with market-leading private equity and M&A teams on complex, high-value, and often cross-border transactions.
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.
