wilson/ryan/grose Lawyers Graduate Stories

I find that the coolest part of my work is that we get to advise people on the law and potentially teach them about something they were not aware of or did not understand. In the majority of cases, I can be happy knowing that people walk away from a meeting, or phone call, having a better view of their circumstances than when they arrived.

Commercial litigation requires a broad knowledge of legal principles, which means I am constantly engaged in research and learning on the go.

I love client appointments and interacting with people. Our clients are all very pleasant to deal with and are often very appreciative of our advice.

The coolest thing about my job is being able to continue learning and develop my legal knowledge, and applying that knowledge in a practical setting which leads to helping clients.
