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.
You’ll bring significant post-qualification experience as a solicitor in England and Wales, with deep expertise in landlord and tenant law and leasehold structures. Strong leadership, negotiation skills, and a collaborative approach to stakeholder management are essential, especially in a fast-paced, multi-site, multi-jurisdictional environment.
In this role, you’ll oversee property transactions, compliance, and governance. You’ll manage an in-house legal team and retained external lawyers to ensure our legal strategy supports commercial goals. You’ll also lead on ESG initiatives, including green leases and EPC compliance.
