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 complete four six-month seats across a range of specialist practice areas, giving you the opportunity to explore different areas of law and gain valuable experience. There may also be opportunities to undertake a client or international secondment, providing further insight into our clients' businesses and the wider legal profession.
Areas You May Experience Include
- Insurance and Reinsurance
- Liability Defence
- Commercial
