That can be hard when you’re moving from theory to practice and making the challenging jump from university to working in a commercial law firm.

That's where we come in.

If you’re a law student in your penultimate year, our Clerkship Program will expose you to the fast pace of a full-service commercial law firm and show you the law in action. You'll be working under the guidance of some of the sharpest legal minds in Australia, on challenging, complex, and high-profile transactions and matters. We’ve built a team of down-to-earth, client centric and collaborative lawyers. We embrace individuality and encourage people to stay true to who they are by bringing their whole self to work.

In our Clerkship Program, you can... 

  • Explore new areas of commercial law through 2 practice group rotations
  • Expose yourself to challenging, complex and high- profile transactions and matters, including Pro Bono work
  • Be supported by a formal structure of Partners, Senior Associates / Special Counsel and Lawyers who will share industry knowledge and meaningful performance feedback.
  • Expand your knowledge of commercial law and build practical skills through continued development sessions.
  • Give back through our Community Connect program and participate in social and sporting activities
