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.

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.

The role offers exceptional breadth and variety, encompassing corporate transactions, commercial contracting, governance, risk management and general legal advisory work. It is ideally suited to a lawyer who enjoys working across multiple disciplines and partnering closely with stakeholders to drive commercial outcomes.

The successful candidate will have approximately 10+ years' post-qualification experience, with a strong foundation in a leading law firm and significant exposure to corporate and commercial matters, including M&A, investments and strategic transactions. Candidates may already be in-house or remain in private practice, but should demonstrate a commercial mindset, strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to operate confidently across a diverse range of legal issues. Exposure to employment, disputes or other general commercial matters would be advantageous.
