We have new opportunities to join our Sydney graduate program commencing in September 2021.

Our graduate program gives you the chance to start shaping your future and hone your skills in a range of practice areas, providing you with broad-based training and ensuring that you are ready to become a qualified solicitor.

You'll rotate through three distinct practice areas for six months each and will be assigned a partner and buddy for support.

You'll get the opportunity to submit practice area preferences before every rotation, enabling you to tailor your graduate program to your specific interests. You can also discuss your preferences with our dedicated Graduate Recruitment team. If you are interested in broadening your skills further, you can also apply to complete an international rotation or a rotation through our Digital Law Group or our Legal Operations team.

We recruit people with the desire and ability to be exceptional, commercial lawyers. This means that we look for more than just a great academic record and strong technical aptitude. We seek people who are curious, empathetic and understand the importance of building relationships with clients and colleagues. We also look for an international mind-set and a desire to work within our global network, not just one office.

To be eligible to apply, candidates need to:

  • Have recently completed an Australian Bachelor's degree in law or Juris Doctorate.
  • Have working rights for Australia (eg a valid Graduate visa)
  • Be able to commence full time employment in September 2021

I was always amazed when I was able to use my knowledge from university to draft a memo which later went out to the client either in its original form or with only minor edits.
