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.

Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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.
What truly sets the firm apart is its approach to developing people. A significant number of partners across the business are home grown, having joined as trainees and progressed through the firm over time. Partners who recruited trainees over 10 years ago are still working alongside those same lawyers today and have subsequently supported them through their own partnership applications.
Junior lawyers are given direct access to partners and senior lawyers who take an active interest in their technical development, creating a genuine culture of long term investment in people rather than a focus on short term performance.
