Reviews
I have done a variety of legal work whilst here. This has included being directly involved in contractual negotiations (and corresponding amendments), drafting and finalising semi-contractual documents (notices, letters, annexures etc.), providing legal advices and some non-legal work such as business development.
Lack of communication regarding workflow
In my team I am afforded a lot of opportunities to interface directly with clients and get involved in legal work.

Pros and cons of working at Allens
Pros
Great training, large teams, larger matters, great exposure to the market early in career.
The people are very down to earth and fun but incredibly intelligent at the same time.
The work is also diverse and intellectually stimulating.
Allens invests a lot of time and resources into training its junior lawyers... providing 'on the job' training.
A supportive work environment, which supports individuals to take responsibility for their own careers.
Cons
Pay is lower than comparable firms.
The hours can be long during busy periods and once you're off the Legal Services Award.
Hierarchy.
The unsteady workflow.
The standard of work and reputation of the firm is very high which can feel crushing and overwhelming.
