Lead Lawyer Role | High Profile International Consumer Brands

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior commercial lawyer to step into a true business-lead legal role within a major international business, supporting a portfolio of high-profile branded businesses and operating as a trusted adviser to executive and senior leadership teams across the UK and EMEA.

The role combines strategic influence, leadership, and hands-on delivery, with ownership of legal support across a broad and commercially critical remit, from complex commercial arrangements to regulatory, ESG, IP, and digital initiatives.

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.
