Responsibilities include:

  • Manage the Partner's busy diary, scheduling meetings and resolving conflicts.
  • Prepare meeting agendas, papers and minutes, and follow up on action points.
  • Arrange UK and international travel and itineraries.
  • Manage emails and correspondence, prioritising communications and acting as a key point of contact for clients.
  • Assist with personal appointments, occasional errands and private events when required.
  • Prepare legal documents, presentations, business development materials and correspondence.
  • Open, maintain and organise client files, ensuring documents are accurate and compliant.
  • Monitor deadlines and help keep matters on track.
  • Track key workstreams and priorities across the Partner's matters.
  • Respond to client and internal enquiries in a timely and professional manner.
  • Coordinate billing, including opening matters, preparing invoices and liaising with the Finance team.

  • Record time entries and assist with reporting.
  • Maintain CRM records and support business development activities, including client events.
  • Process expenses and keep accurate records.

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.
