Legal Engineer — Leading Law Firm (London or Leeds office)
What the role is about
Join the legal engineering team supporting a leading law firm's delivery centre — helping attorneys, paralegals, and lawyers work more efficiently through better processes, smarter workflows, and the right technology. This role can be based out of either the London or Leeds office.
What you'll do
- Help bring new legal work into the delivery team and turn it into smooth, repeatable processes
- Spot opportunities to improve how work gets done — speed, cost, quality — and lead projects to make it happen
- Keep an eye on service issues, figure out root causes, and fix them so they don't recur
- Share good solutions across teams so wins in one area help others
- Introduce and manage relevant technology to support better processes
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.
