In addition to your interview with a partner and a senior lawyer, you will have the chance to meet with a range of our people across all of our practice areas. Your workshop will conclude with drinks and canapes with all of the Perth office. The interview workshops are an opportunity for us to get to know you better and for you to learn more about Gilbert + Tobin and our people. 

Graduate Success Stories


  • Graduate stories
Don’t catastrophise when you face adversity. This goes for both academic and non-academic adversities. If you don’t get good grades or aren’t successful in a job application, don’t see it as a failure. Instead, see it as a learning experience—reflect on what you did right and what you could have done better, and take some lessons from it.
