An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Private Equity Transactions practice of a leading international law firm in London.

Working as part of a highly regarded private equity team, you'll advise leading sponsors, investment funds and portfolio companies on a broad range of complex transactions. The role offers exposure to leveraged buyouts, acquisitions and disposals, management equity, portfolio company matters and other sponsor-led transactions, with the opportunity to work on high-value domestic and cross-border mandates.

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.
