We are working with one of the largest financial services organisations across Asia, which has a strong and growing presence throughout Europe. This bank has harnessed a consistent and stable flow of business and continues to perform well, despite current economic conditions affecting other international banks, so it is a great time to join.
As a result of this strong performance, the EMEA legal team is now looking for a Paralegal to join their Corporate Lending legal team, for an initial period of 12 months.
What will the role involve:
- Key tasks will relate to the review, drafting and negotiation of finance documentation: non-disclosure agreements, reliance/release letters and other similar documents, in the context of both front-office transactions and vendor contracts;
- Liaise with front office and other stakeholders;
- Support the efficient execution of documentation in accordance with internal requirements and policies and external regulations in order to manage legal risk;
- Assist the legal team with other transactional matters or projects as required.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
