Smarter Law
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.
Your opportunity to impress!
The Seasonal Clerkship Program provides an excellent opportunity to gain real-world legal experience while you complete your law degree.
We are interested in clerks with qualities that align with our Hallmarks. Some of these include:
- a creative mind and a passion for technology and innovation
- an understanding of the changing legal landscape
- varied life experiences, including previous work experience (legal and/or non-legal) and outside interests
- strong and consistent academics and an involvement in extra-curricular activities
- excellent communication skills, including language and interpersonal skills.
If you’re passionate about a career in the legal industry, then get in touch. We welcome applications from students who have a deep desire to progress in the industry.
Contact Gilda Carter to learn more about this unique opportunity to start your legal journey.
Our commitment to diversity in the application process
Diversity is a vital component of our practice of Smarter Law.
We are committed to creating a diverse workforce and celebrating the characteristics that make each individual unique.
There’s no one ‘type’ of clerk that we look for; instead, we value people from different backgrounds, different experiences and with different perspectives.
We review applications in a way that seeks to eliminate ‘unconscious bias’. To do this, we do not look at candidate names, addresses, gender or secondary school information when we review seasonal clerkship applications.
Why? Everybody has inherent biases, and this means that, at times, people are not as open-minded to difference as we’d like.
We want to eliminate any unconscious or hidden bias in the shortlisting process. That’s why our application form might look a bit different to those used by other firms.
