The Team
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.
The private wealth team is regarded as one of the best in the UK, especially for onshore private client work. The group is led by two highly regarded partners—well known in the industry for their approachability, mentorship, and technical strength. The team recently attracted a lateral hire from another leading private client practice, reflecting its strong market reputation and appeal.

- Succession planning and estate structuring
- Complex will drafting and powers of attorney
- Family governance frameworks
- Trust formation, administration, and restructuring
- High-value estate administration and related tax advice

The Ideal Candidate
You will be a UK-qualified solicitor with ideally 4–5 years’ PQE and a strong background in onshore private client law. You’ll be comfortable advising on complex tax, trusts, and estate matters for HNW clients.
