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 team acts for the owners of more than 50 landed estates and country houses, ranging from around 150 to 12,000 acres, and works closely with leading Private Client and Tax lawyers on the wider issues affecting landed families.
This would particularly suit an experienced rural property lawyer who enjoys the traditional landed estates practice but also wants exposure to the increasingly important areas of energy, diversification and natural capital.
You will have significant autonomy, client contact and responsibility for supervising junior lawyers, alongside the opportunity to help develop the practice.
