About TCLA
We help students and graduates get jobs at the best law firms.
We achieve this in three ways: a large public forum, personal coaching, and an AI training workspace.
You’ll be doing the personal coaching. That means weekly calls with applicants, where you provide them with structure, accountability, and 1-2-1 help. You’ll also deliver practise interviews ahead of the real thing.
Your Role
You’ll join a team of five future trainees.
You’ll run 30 30-minute calls per week with applicants from a vast range of backgrounds. You’ll use your experience with the law firm process to build a personal ‘curriculum’ to a training contract, including:
- Reviewing their applications
- Practising video interviews
- Practising mock online tests
- Delivering mock interviews and case studies
- Discussing commercial awareness news stories
It’s your job to make those 30 minutes count and to help applicants make more progress than they have ever done.
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.
Graduate Consultant — 2026 Scheme
Why you're a good match
StrongYour economics background and your summer at a regional bank line up with what PwC looks for on the consulting scheme. Applications close in four weeks.
See breakdownIt 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.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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.
If you have fewer than 30 personal service calls, you will carry out mock interviews instead. This will ramp up between January and March for a higher number of mock interviews.
If you’d like to do more than 30 calls a week, you will be paid overtime at £22.5 per call.
Why Join Us?
We have extremely big goals at TCLA. You’ll see what it’s like to work at a start-up, learn how AI can actually be used in practise, and how to work at speed. We operate as a flat structure, and you’ll work alongside us to shape the future of legal hiring.
Most importantly, you’ll develop exceptional written, commercial awareness, organisation and communication skills, together with a vast network of future lawyers. We think these skills will directly help you become an exceptional lawyer.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
