Looking for the right platform to build your practice and accelerate your journey to Partnership? We are exclusively partnering with a highly regarded national UK law firm that is making a significant investment in the continued growth of its Financial Services Regulatory practice.
This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious Legal Director (or exceptional Senior Associate ready to step up) to join a growing team with genuine Partnership potential.
The firm is seeking an inquisitive, commercially minded lawyer with a strong reputation in Financial Services Regulation, ideally advising banks, investment firms, payment institutions, asset managers and other FCA-regulated businesses. This role will suit someone looking for greater autonomy, the opportunity to build their own practice and the support of an established national platform.
The Opportunity
Working alongside an experienced Financial Services Regulatory Partner, you will play a key role in the continued expansion of the practice.
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.
