About the Role
A major global law firm with a sector-driven and technology-focused approach, needs an established Business Development professional to play a key role partnering with colleagues across the firm to successfully implement BD activities for the firm’s market-leading Corporate practice.
The successful applicant will be joining a future facing firm who take a bold and agile approach to ensure their clients are able to face the future with confidence. The firm readily embraces the possibilities technology opens up for developing new and better ways of working. They aim to inspire, impact and support both clients and their employees, helping them to maximise their potential and thrive. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a team supporting a truly market-leading practice. The firm’s UK Corporate practice is one of the most sought after for advising on transactions in the UK and across Europe and regularly tops the M&A and Equity Capital Markets league tables, and the Funds & Indirect Real Assets team is considered market leading by all major directories. Under energetic and ambitious leadership, the Corporate team is looking to further boost its market profile, leverage firm-wide client relationships and land roles on headline transactions.
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.
