Who We’re Looking For

You should have the ability to take charge of your own career and demonstrate a proactive approach to your development.
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.
We value globally minded individuals who are eager to work across borders and cultures, and who are intrigued by solving complex problems within multiple legal systems.
A curiosity about the international commercial issues that our clients face is essential, as is an enthusiasm for addressing the most cutting-edge and complicated transactions.
We recruit both law and non-law students. Applicants will be welcomed for their individuality, their interest in the innovative work we do, and a proactive mindset that prioritises client needs.
Your interest in working at the forefront of commercial law will be crucial in navigating the complexities and challenges that define our projects.
Potential trainees should have achieved, or be on track to achieve, a solid 2:1, have a positive attitude, be enthusiastic and work well as part of a team.
