Reasons to use Rodeo

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.
We act for lenders and finance companies in the recovery of secured debts, including business loans, bridging finance, and loans secured by legal mortgages. Our work focuses on property possession proceedings, repossessions, evictions, and enforcement action where borrowers have fallen into arrears or default.
This is a fully remote, full-time role within a small, close-knit team providing bespoke legal services to a select number of significant lender clients.
The Role
You will manage your own caseload with the support of an administrative assistant and two paralegals, working closely alongside the Head Solicitor.
The work includes:
- CPR Part 55 possession claims
- Property possession proceedings
- Repossessions and evictions
- Recovery of business loans and bridging finance
- Enforcement of legal mortgages and security documentation
- Money judgment applications
- Interim and final charging orders
- Orders for sale
- Debt recovery and enforcement strategy
- Drafting pleadings, witness statements, applications, and court documents
- Liaising directly with clients, borrowers, solicitors, agents, and counsel
We recognise the commercial realities in which lenders operate, including the cash flow issues that can arise from prolonged arrears. The successful candidate will therefore need to be commercially aware, proactive, and able to progress matters efficiently while providing a personal and responsive service to clients.
