Senior Associate - Corporate & Private Equity

We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Associate to join our thriving Corporate & Private Equity team in Cardiff or London.

Working within the Corporate & Private Equity team:

The Corporate & Private Equity team’s main focus is on M&A and Private Equity transactions; we handle complex and high-value matters, and our clients are generally based in London, but also across the UK and internationally. We have offices in Cardiff, London, and Paris. We work flexibly and team members work from home and/or from either of our offices.

What are we looking for?

We’re seeking a driven and experienced corporate lawyer with up-to-date expertise in corporate transactions and private equity.

  • You’ll be a qualified Solicitor with at least 5 years’ post-qualification experience, confident working on complex and diverse deals, and a collaborative team player.

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.
