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 don’t need prior experience in all these areas – we provide full training to help you develop your skills and confidence.
What we’re looking for:
- A law degree (2:1 or above preferred)
- Excellent written and verbal communication
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy
- Good organisational and time management skills
- A proactive, client-focused approach
- A real interest in startups, business and commercial law
Experience in a similar role is a bonus but not essential. If you’re bright, enthusiastic and willing to learn, we want to hear from you.
Career development
We want you to grow with us. Our paralegals have gone on to secure training contracts, qualify as solicitors and take on more senior legal work at the firm. We’ll support your progression with mentoring, hands-on training and regular feedback.
What’s it like working at Buckworths?
We’re a small, friendly and diverse team with a relaxed culture. We value collaboration, learning and making work enjoyable.
