Who are we looking for?
We are particularly interested in hearing from lawyers with experience in:
- Criminal Defence
- Serious & General Crime
- White Collar Crime
- Regulatory & Investigations
- Legal Aid
- Private Criminal Defence

Whether you are looking to develop your advocacy, handle higher-value and more complex matters, move into private/white-collar work, or take the next step into leadership, we would like to hear from you.
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.
More than just another role
We are building a firm for ambitious lawyers who want to be part of something bigger. Tuckers is investing in people, technology, infrastructure and regional growth, creating opportunities for lawyers who want to develop their careers and play a meaningful role in the future direction of the firm.
For the right individual, there are also opportunities to develop and lead teams, take on greater responsibility and potentially help build new regional operations, with the full infrastructure of an established national firm behind you.
What we can offer
- Competitive salary
- Bonus and overtime opportunities
- Hybrid working
- Full-time and part-time opportunities
- Legal Aid and private client work
- National career opportunities
- Genuine progression and leadership opportunities
- The backing, systems and infrastructure of an established national firm

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.

What we are looking for

- Strong advocacy, drafting and client-care skills
- Commercial awareness and a commitment to excellent client service
- Ambition to develop and progress
If you are an experienced criminal defence solicitor in London and are considering your next move, I would be very interested in speaking with you — even if you are not actively looking. Confidential enquiries are welcome.
