New Opportunity | Commercial Litigation Lawyer (5+ PQE) | London
A leading boutique litigation firm in London is seeking an ambitious Commercial Disputes Associate (5+ PQE) to join its highly regarded disputes practice.
This is an excellent opportunity to work on a broad range of complex, high-value contentious matters for an impressive client base, including corporates, financial institutions, funds, and high-net-worth individuals. The team is involved in sophisticated commercial litigation, competition disputes, shareholder disputes, contractual claims, fraud-related matters, and cross-border disputes.
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.
