What if you could elevate your legal career by joining a dynamic team where your expertise is not just valued, but essential in shaping the future of the growth and success of a business and corporate strategies?
We are looking for an enthusiastic lawyer to join our growing Legal team. This is a great opportunity for someone who is seeking a new challenge and looking to join a company which is an established household name but also ambitious and at an exciting time in its development.
Your Purpose
As our Legal Counsel, you will provide legal support across the business, assess risks and effectively communicate with internal and external stakeholders. You will provide legal support to departments across the business, including Procurement, IT, Marketing, People, Sales and Operations, particularly in respect of contractual matters. This will include managing the legal process across a broad variety of business initiatives and reviewing and negotiating commercial agreements.
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.
