About the Company

We are a Clio-powered, fully paperless practice offering hands-on, real-world experience across Immigration & Asylum, Family & Children, Wills & Probate, Landlord & Tenant, Civil Disputes, and Criminal Defence/Motoring Offences.

About the Role

We are looking for the best of the best — talented, focused, and driven LLB graduates and law students, for paralegal, internship, placement, and work experience opportunities.

Responsibilities

  • Genuine hands-on experience across live cases, not just admin support
  • Direct supervision and mentoring from experienced solicitors
  • Paperless working with a Clio-based case management system, CRM, and mobile app
  • A genuine pathway to a paralegal or training role for standout candidates
  • A friendly, supportive, and ambitious firm actively expanding its regional footprint

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.
