Are you ready to qualify into a collaborative, market leading team? Our Banking & Funds team is seeking a Newly Qualified Solicitor to join the team in Aberdeen, Edinburgh or Glasgow.
This is an excellent opportunity to build your career within a top tier practice working across both banking and funds transactions, with exposure to high quality, complex work in the UK and internationally. You’ll work closely with experienced lawyers on cutting edge transactions, gaining a broad understanding of how businesses operate and helping to deliver practical, commercial solutions to clients.

As well as working with leading clients, you’ll be part of an inclusive environment that encourages you to be yourself and supports you to perform at your best. If you’re a self starter with a strong client service mindset and a collaborative approach, you’ll thrive here.
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.
Ideally, you’ll have gained experience in banking or funds during your traineeship, although we recognise this isn’t always possible. As a minimum, you should have finance or broader transactional experience, coupled with a genuine desire to learn, develop and progress within the role.
Does this sound like the ideal place to start your career? Apply now.
