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.
- Drafting, reviewing and negotiating legal documents
- Liaising with clients and external stakeholders
- Supporting our in-house Sales and Purchase team
- Advising internal colleagues
- Helping to identify, assess and mitigate legal risk
This is a varied and hands-on role, offering the opportunity to broaden your in-house experience in a supportive, fast-paced and commercially focused environment.
The Person
We are looking for a motivated and commercially minded legal professional with a minimum of a law degree (or equivalent) and previous experience working within a legal team.
The successful candidate will have a strong grounding in legal principles, be proactive, organised and detail-focused, with the ability to prioritise competing demands and deliver practical, solutions-focused legal support.
As this is an in-house role, you will need to be comfortable working closely with non-legal colleagues, understanding commercial priorities, and providing clear, pragmatic advice. You should be confident working both independently and collaboratively, with the ability to take ownership of matters and support the wider Legal Department.
A genuine interest in the environment, sustainability and doing the right thing is very important to us, along with enthusiasm to continue learning and developing in a fast-paced, growing business.
Experience in property law, the housebuilding sector, or a green services environment, would be advantageous but is not essential.
Main Responsibilities
- Reviewing, drafting and negotiating a wide range of legal documents
- Providing practical, commercially focused legal advice to colleagues across the business
- Supporting the wider team to identify, assess and manage both legal risk and commercial opportunity
- Preparing clear and concise legal summaries for internal stakeholders, including Ecology, Finance, Business Development and Operations
- Working alongside the Business Development and Strategic Land teams to review residential and commercial property plans and identify any legal considerations
- Providing hands-on legal support to our in-house Sales and Purchase Department, including assisting with queries, documentation and transaction-related matters
- Participating in internal and external meetings, providing legal input and support as required
- Building strong working relationships across the business and helping to ensure legal support is practical, accessible and aligned with Trustgreen’s objectives
