Private Client Partner | West End Boutique | HNW & Media Focus | Tier 1 Legal 500
If you are looking for the autonomy to lead a high-calibre practice within a firm that truly understands the HNW and media landscape, then this is for you. As an established practitioner, you will lead a department that sits at the heart of a firm famous for its work with high-profile individuals, entrepreneurs, and household names in the media and arts.
This platform is designed to provide you with high-quality work, a supportive partner network, and the professional environment necessary to prosper. You will drive the expansion of the firm’s private client offering, fully supported by its established infrastructure and extensive resources.
The Firm
Established for over 50 years, this firm has built an elite reputation. While they are a Tier 1 name in Media and Reputation Management, their Private Client team is a central pillar of the business. The firm is a unique blend of "home-grown" talent and ex-City practitioners, offering a sophisticated, commercially astute environment that remains notably more accessible and collaborative than a traditional City institution. It is an environment where partners are given the autonomy to run their practices without the red tape of a global firm, but are backed by strong support frameworks to achieve their maximum potential.
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
The practice handles high-value, complex mandates for a client base that is often in the public eye. You will act as a trusted advisor across the full spectrum of private client law, including:
- Manage sophisticated mandates for HNW and UHNW families, focusing on high-level estate planning, trust structuring, and the private affairs of high-profile entrepreneurs and tech founders
- Collaborate with market-leading Media, Family, and Corporate teams on complex business successions and high-value assets, benefiting from a consistent stream of internal referrals
- Lead and shape your own department within a supportive, non-hierarchical West End boutique that offers true autonomy without the friction of large-firm bureaucracy
- Access a transparent and competitive remuneration package designed to reward personal billings and firm-wide contribution, set within a professional and balanced work environment
While the firm is deeply established, this represents a distinct opportunity to lead and build out a new Private Client practice. You will have the unique advantage of a "startup" mandate- shaping the department's direction and strategy - bolstered by the immediate security and high-calibre referral pipeline of a prestigious, 50-year-old London institution.
