Junior lawyer in the corporate m&a team
Drafting advising attending conferences / basic court hearings.
As a graduate lawyer, i work across most matters the team takes on. Tasks generally include legal research, drafting correspondence, drafting court forms, attending hearings and assisting in management/discovery of documents. I am also able to solely assist the partner on smaller matters, which involves greater conduct of the matter in terms of managing the matter, the documents, client correspondence, providing advice and strategy considerations.

Law
MinterEllison is one of Australiaโs largest law firms, with nearly 200 years of business history. We're known for our legal and consulting expertise.
Very supportive environment, months of training, amazing leadership, great benefits, flexibility, amazing opportunities.
The ability to rotate through different practice areas... build camaraderie the minute you step into the firm.
The culture is also welcoming and encourages personal and professional growth in all areas.
Great workplace culture that cares about staff's life outside 9-5.
High-quality work and clients
The long hours โ although these are still more manageable than other top-tier law firms.
Salary is falling behind other top-tier law firms, but I do feel the work-life balances are sufficient compensation.
Limited networking/business development opportunities for juniors.
Graduates feel disappointed they will not be able to work within a team that is a key reason they aspired to come to Minters
My only issue is that we hot desk, meaning a different desk each day so we donโt have the opportunity to make or personalise our own space.
