Prosple Australia/GradAustralia Profiles

Charlie Light studied Bachelor of Laws (Hons), Bachelor or Arts (History/American Studies) at the Australian National University and is a Lawyer at Attorney-General's Department (AGD).

As an Ashurst graduate rotating through the Planning, Access and Environment (PAE) team, no two days are ever the same.

Ella studied Bachelor of Business Administration/Bachelor of Laws (Hons) at Australian National University, graduated in 2020, and is now a Graduate at DLA Piper Perth

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

In your grad year, you rotate through 4 different practice areas. This is a great opportunity not only for exposure to different areas of the law but to meet people throughout the firm.

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.

My team specialises in aviation law so I frequently get to work on airport-related matters.
