The role offers exposure to complex, high-value corporate real estate matters for private equity investors, institutional asset managers, pension funds, sovereign wealth investors, REITs and major developers.

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.
Key Responsibilities
- Support transactions from initial structuring through to completion, developing experience in acquisitions, disposals, joint ventures, corporate reorganisations and other investment-driven mandates.
- Work closely with senior lawyers and clients while building the technical and commercial judgement needed to take increasing responsibility for matters.
Collaboration
The wider practice regularly collaborates across corporate, real estate, finance and tax teams, giving junior lawyers a genuinely multi-disciplinary deal experience.
Ideal Candidate
The team is particularly interested in candidates with a strong corporate foundation, including M&A and joint venture experience, who want to develop a specialist practice in real estate. Experience of real estate transactions is advantageous but not essential where there is a clear interest in the sector.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This would suit an NQ from a strong corporate, M&A or real estate background who is technically capable, commercially minded and keen to work on sophisticated transactions for sophisticated investors.
Development
Structured training, regular feedback and clear progression discussions are part of the team's approach to associate development.
