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.
You'll also have exposure to areas including estate diversification, development, renewable energy, natural capital and biodiversity projects, alongside more traditional landed estates work.
You'll work closely with colleagues across private client, tax, trusts and property litigation, providing clients with a joined-up service across their wider estate and business interests.
The role will also involve developing client relationships and supporting the continued growth of the Landed Estates practice.
Requirements:
- Qualified Solicitor with circa 8 PQE
- Strong experience in landed estates, rural property or agricultural property
- Experience advising private landowners, landed estates, farming businesses or HNW clients
- Good knowledge of agricultural tenancies, rural property transactions and estate management
- Experience of acquisitions, disposals, leases, easements and other rural property matters
- Strong commercial awareness and excellent client care skills
- Ability to manage complex matters with a high degree of autonomy
