Graduate program

Law graduates participate in a national induction program covering the firm's structure, which is run in our Melbourne office. It covers the firm’s structure, the work we do, our clients, training in IT systems and office procedures.

We offer graduates experience across a range of practice areas through rotations (wherever possible). This helps them make an informed decision about the area they want to work in following their graduate year.

Graduates are given an extensive support network including a buddy to assist with the transition from university to full-time employment, a mentor in each rotation and a supervisor (partner) to provide guidance throughout the year.

We're renowned for our Smarter Law approach. Smarter Law means we look beyond the status quo to think differently and find better solutions for clients. That involves making real client connections, understanding their legal and business challenges, and then putting our heads together with theirs to creatively develop a solution, which may include enabling technology, challenging business models, innovative pricing or creative resourcing.

Elevate is an integral part of the Graduate year. It provides insight into our business and the business of law, helps Graduates build connections and internal networks and provides continuous learning and CPD opportunities.

Graduates are given ongoing formal and informal feedback.

Graduates are encouraged to immerse themselves in our great culture and have fun! We also have a dress for your day policy, which makes things a bit more comfortable.

Grads on Tour is a Smarter Law event that gives our Graduates an opportunity to get involved and experience the innovation journey by taking an idea to reality. It incorporates, legal tech and innovation modules, business consultation, prototyping and specialist mentoring and culminates in national livestreamed pitches.
