2023 National Law Graduate Program - Brisbane (Mar 2023)

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY 

We focus on building strong business-minded lawyers, who can work closely with clients and understand their challenges and opportunities and add value to their businesses. To do this we believe it is essential to give our graduates hands on experience as early as possible in their career. This might mean you will be on the floor of a client’s factory, in a car yard or transport depot, in a client’s commercial office in the CBD or front and centre at a mediation.

We have an exciting opportunity for talented and ambitious law graduates to join our National Graduate Program in our Brisbane office:

• This is a full-time 12-month program.
• You will rotate across a number of different practice areas that will expose you to a variety of different commercial law firm experiences;
• To support your on-the-job learning, you will complete supervised legal training all while receiving close mentoring and coaching from your peers and supervising Principals.

You never like to see an opportunity pass you by, especially if it is one that involves working in a team.
