Regulatory Team Recruitment for Experienced Legal Assessors
Our Regulatory team is recruiting experienced legal assessors to provide advice to regulatory panels and support them with the drafting of their decisions.
We are recognised in both Chambers and Legal 500 as a highly regarded team specialising in advising professional regulators. Our clients include regulators in a number of sectors including law, health and social care, accountancy and education.
Part of our work involves providing specialist legal assessor services to clients, supporting their disciplinary/regulatory panels during hearings with legal advice and drafting skills. Our legal assessors support complex hearings covering a range of allegations, including sexual misconduct. They are highly skilled at supporting vulnerable people and unrepresented parties.
We are seeking experienced legal assessors to join our team on a flexible basis. We are seeking people who can commit to 120 days’ each year (but please note we are unable to guarantee a particular number of days).
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.
Many of these hearings will be virtual / remote, but some will be in person at venues in London, Coventry and/or Wales. Standard travel and accommodation costs will be met as necessary.
