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 role
Supporting Partners and Solicitors, you'll run your own caseload and get properly involved in significant transactions from day one. Day to day, that means:
- Identifying titles and obtaining Official Copy Entries and Office Copy Documents from the Land Registry
- Undertaking title checks and wider property due diligence
- Carrying out searches and obtaining items from Local Authorities and other third parties
- Chasing outstanding items and keeping matters moving
- Pre-completion Land Registry searches and post-completion work
- Providing progress reports to clients, Partners and Solicitors
- Helping organise, monitor and deliver the team's larger transactions, and supporting fellow paralegals when needed
It's a demanding role that rewards flexibility and the ability to juggle competing priorities well.
What we're looking for
- A minimum of 6 months' conveyancing experience (essential)
- Excellent attention to detail and a methodical, well-organised approach
- Good drafting skills and the ability to conduct effective legal research
- Confident communicator who can explain things in plain English, with a strong client-service instinct
- Comfortable prioritising a heavy workload to tight deadlines, sometimes with limited supervision
- Competent across MS Word, Excel and Outlook
- A supportive team player – self-motivated, tenacious and calm under pressure
