Every day at 10 AM, my team has a short meeting to go 'around the grounds' and explain our priority tasks for the day.

Getting into work that little bit earlier allows me to get up to date with any emails that have come in overnight or over the weekend and plan my day.

I have a quick catchup with my workgroup partner regarding any file questions I have. We have an open-door policy so it is quick and easy to ask questions during the day.

The Partner with who I work for has an open-door policy, and it absolutely applies even with him working in the Sydney office and me in the Canberra office. I’m a bit stuck on what to do in one of my files, so I give him a call to discuss my ideas and get his thoughts.

Our firm runs an in-house mentoring program where junior solicitors meet monthly with a Partner who acts as their mentor and go through a strategic agenda which assists us with our personal and professional development.

I receive a new task for a Planning and Environment matter. The task involves writing a letter in response to a Council considering that some development approvals have lapsed.
