Junior Solicitor

A leading organisation in the energy infrastructure sector is looking for a high-calibre junior Solicitor to join their in-house Legal team, supporting a wide range of commercial activities across the business. This is an excellent opportunity for a Trainee due to qualify or a recently qualified lawyer trained in private practice who is keen to develop in a dynamic, commercially focused environment. This is a hybrid role where you can enjoy working from home 3 days each week.

The Role

Reporting to a Senior Solicitor, you will provide pragmatic, high-quality legal support across the business, advising on both day-to-day matters and strategic initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Draft, review, and negotiate a range of commercial agreements (including supplier terms, service agreements, NDAs, and framework agreements)
  • Prepare supporting legal documentation such as letters, consents, and resolutions
  • Assist on strategic business projects and initiatives
  • Support corporate transactions, restructurings, and joint ventures
  • Provide legal input on financing arrangements (including lending and security documentation)
  • Deliver practical, business-focused legal advice to internal stakeholders

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.
