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.
You'll work closely with senior lawyers and take on more responsibility for your own matters and client relationships as your experience grows. The level of autonomy will reflect your experience.
About You
The firm is open to lawyers at all PQE levels, from junior Associates through to Senior Associates.
Ideally, you'll have:
- A background in a recognised finance, structured finance or capital markets team
- Experience of securitisation or structured finance transactions, or closely related finance work
- Strong drafting and transactional skills
- Sound commercial awareness
- The ability to manage your workload and run matters with appropriate supervision
- For more senior candidates, experience running transactions and managing client relationships
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The firm is also interested in candidates from adjacent practices, such as banking, DCM or derivatives, who want to specialise in structured finance.
Why Apply?
This is a chance to build a specialist structured finance career in a practice with international reach. You'll have the opportunity to:
- Join a Legal 500-ranked London structured finance practice
- Work on complex, high-value domestic and cross-border transactions
- Develop deep expertise in securitisation and structured credit
- Work closely with experienced Finance Partners
- Take increasing ownership of transactions and client relationships
