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.
Setting you up for success
Our apprentices will start their careers with a six-month seat in a legal-adjacent business services team, alongside an extensive induction programme. This is designed to give you a thorough understanding of how law firms operate, and to introduce you to office life before arriving in your first practice group.
Rotating through multiple practice groups, you will get a hands-on understanding of what we do for our clients around the world and how we do it. You’ll be part of our friendly teams from day one, working side-by-side with our lawyers on real client work.
When it comes to your studies, we know that people have different learning styles, and we want our apprentices to excel in their exams. In addition to the standard day release throughout your solicitor apprenticeship, you’ll get an extended period of paid full-time study leave to help you best prepare for SQE1.
Support at every step
We'll support you at every step to develop the professional and personal skills that will help you succeed. We know that the world of commercial law will be new to you, so we have built you a first-class support system. You’ll have a trainee buddy, apprentice buddy, supervisor, partner mentor and coaching opportunities to help you navigate, enjoy and thrive in your new career.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We’ve developed a training and development programme across the six-year solicitor apprentice journey, so your on-the-job and classroom learning will be complemented with tailored training and skills sessions. Expect to build a fantastic network of friends and colleagues along the way, and to enjoy the social side of working at White & Case too.
You'll graduate ready to start your career as a newly qualified associate, with unbeatable experience of working as a commercial lawyer in the City of London.
The deadline to apply to our Solicitor Apprenticeship to start in September 2027 is 3 January 2027.
