Please describe the training programmes at your company and tell us what skills you've picked up.
There are lots of training for new starters and this continues as you progress through your time at G+T, I have at least one training a week!
Graduate, Sydney
Formal training is great. I think sometimes the 'informal' training is really valuable, but sometimes others don't have the time to fully explain what is necessary within a particular situation.

Training for lawyers is great, training for other staff e.g.: paralegals is next to non-existent
Graduate, Sydney
We have consistent training for junior lawyers and graduates on different areas of the law in the practice group we are rotating within.
Graduate, Melbourne
The training implemented is very pragmatic and thorough. Through informal training with my mentor, I have developed my ability to approach, critique and better my own work.

We have a huge number of training sessions available for lawyers at all stages - whether this is practice-specific training, or general risk and compliance training, Microsoft office training, we have everything available. If there is something specific required, you can easily reach out to knowledge lawyers or the relevant business development team to request a training session on a particular topic, and they will be happy to provide.

We have been offered lots of training and development programs which have allowed us to develop our skills across a broad range of areas. There is a good mix of formal training and on the job training which is important for properly developing skills learnt. There is also a good mix of general training that helps us develop as lawyers as well as practice area specific training
Other (Please specify) - Junior Lawyer, Sydney
As a grad, we had a 3-day induction which was pretty useful. Beyond that, we have had a few formal trainings scheduled in and there is always G+T Academy available for further learning. As for informal training, there is the opportunity to ask and learn from lawyers around you, but it is not necessarily something presented to you.

The formal graduate training process gives junior lawyers the broad skills needed to succeed across practice groups, for example through training sessions on drafting and legal research. Additionally, training sessions on oft used areas of law such as contracts and practice group focused training sessions (for example, overview of IP law for grads in the IP team) provide juniors with the basic understanding needed to get started in their new roles. Informal training, is constantly provided through task instructions and constructive feedback by everyone in the team. Junior lawyers and graduates are encouraged to be curious and inquisitive and raise any questions/queries they have to further assist with the development of their knowledge and skills. Additionally, each practice group has a Knowledge Lawyer that junior lawyers and graduates can approach with any query, thereby enabling further informal training.

Outside the intensive training week, we have formal graduate training and formal training sessions specific to my practice group. Seniors that I have worked with have also run me through informal training sessions which are relevant to my tasks.

There are plenty of training opportunities at the firm and team levels.
