Early Careers

We can take you through the move from theory to practice and the challenging jump to a commercial law firm, through programs for every stage of your study and beyond.

Imagine your tomorrow

Sometimes it's hard enough to know where you will be tomorrow, let alone in ten years. Who knows what the world will look like then.

But you know you want to be ready for it. You want to help create it. That means building up your legal skills, industry knowledge and networks. Doing work that stretches you and shapes society. Learning more about yourself and the world. Forging connections in Australia and overseas. Making friends. We get that. It's what we do every day.

Let us help you do it too. We can take you through the move from theory to practice and the challenging jump to a commercial law firm, through programs for every stage of your study and beyond.
