Senior Risk Lawyer

We’re working with an international law firm to appoint a Senior Risk Lawyer in London. In this role, you'll be advising across the business and its international offices on a wide range of risk and compliance matters. The role offers broad involvement in day-to-day queries and firm-wide risk initiatives, with hybrid working.

About the Role

The firm is seeking a qualified solicitor with at least five years’ post-qualification experience in the internal risk or general counsel team of a global or City law firm. You’ll bring experience drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts, alongside a strong working knowledge of the UK GDPR, SRA Standards and Regulations, the UK Bribery Act 2010, and laws concerning market abuse and insider trading.

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.
