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.
This isn't a repetitive contracts role. The business is complex and the legal team is involved in its more interesting and challenging matters, so there is plenty of opportunity to think on your feet, take ownership and broaden your experience.
The Team
You will join a long-standing and highly regarded in-house legal team with specialists across commercial, compliance, disputes and property.
The lawyers have excellent relationships with senior management and are trusted to take ownership of their work. There is also a strong emphasis on training, development and progression.
About You
We are looking for a lawyer at around 2–6 years' PQE with good commercial contracts experience, gained either in-house or within private practice.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You should be commercial, pragmatic and confident, comfortable taking ownership of contractual matters and keen to work across a broad range of legal and commercial issues.
Package & Flexibility
The role offers an excellent package including 15% bonus, car allowance, pension, family healthcare and 25 days' holiday, with the option to buy an additional 10 days.
There is a highly flexible hybrid working model, with only one day per week in the office.
