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.
The breadth of the position makes this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop their career within the Venture Capital and wider private markets space, while gaining exposure to both transactional and broader in-house legal work.
The Candidate
The firm is interested in speaking with lawyers (3-6 PQE) with strong experience across corporate/M&A, venture capital, private equity, investment funds or related transactional work.
You are likely to have trained within a well-regarded law firm or gained relevant experience within an investment management or financial services business.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You don't need to have covered every aspect of the role previously. Strong legal training, relevant transactional or funds experience, commercial judgement and an interest in the Venture Capital market will all be important.
The Opportunity
This is a chance to join a growing and sophisticated investment business in a role offering considerably more breadth than a traditional transactional legal position.
You'll have the opportunity to work closely with the people making investment decisions, gain exposure across VC transactions, funds and corporate matters, and play an important role within the firm's wider legal function.
For further information or a confidential discussion, please apply directly or message to discuss.
