We are a large major Australian corporate law firm. We have more than 650 people, including 130 Partners operating out of our offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Canberra, and Adelaide. By size, we are one of the ten largest law firms operating in Australia and the 5th largest independent Australian law firm.

We pride ourselves on the quality of our work, and our transparency. We are driven by our clients' needs.

We provide regular representation to the Australian interests of major global foreign corporations. Their industry coverage includes banking and finance, construction, private equity, property development, oil & gas, telecommunications, aviation, agricultural investment, healthcare, life sciences, mining and transport & logistics.

Our Clerkship and Graduate programs

Our clerks are curious, hungry to learn and committed to constant innovation and improvement.

We are looking for hard-working and motivated law students who have excelled academically, are customer focused, commercially minded, work well in a team environment and are enthusiastic about growing their career with a dynamic law firm. We are especially keen to talk to students who have an additional technical degree.
