Reviews
Your role and responsibilities as a graduate vary so much rotation to rotation. Currently, I spend a lot of time reviewing contracts and preparing for litigation generally.
I receive some research tasks and drafting tasks but would like a heavier workload and more responsibility
I have been doing a lot of unbillable work which has been great for my development in other key areas; i.e,, drafting articles for the MK website, cold call emails to prospective clients but I wish I had the opportunity to have more billable work. Perhaps this is because the team doesn't have enough at the moment.

Pros and cons of working at Macpherson Kelley
Pros
The people. Everyone is friendly, welcoming and seems to genuinely want to help out one another. Makes working here enjoyable.
Exposure to multiple practice areas as a graduate & the flexibility to work from home is amasing.
There is a friendly and welcoming culture. Senior people take a genuine interest in graduate development.
Benefits include a culture that values diversity and inclusivity. As a junior having the ability to work directly with senior lawyers offers huge learning benefits. Additionally, the size of the firm enables juniors to gain a real sense of responsibility on matters at an early stage.
The social life at MK is great, I feel very supported by both my team and the firm as a whole.
Cons
The pay is slightly lower than some of my other graduate friends, however, I do nowhere near as much overtime as them
Workflow fluctuates a lot - sometimes there are periods where it can be very quiet.
There's a bit of separation between the Melbourne and Dandenong offices, it would be nice if there was more overlap.
Different teams have different cultures.
Long commute.
