Prosple Australia/GradAustralia Profiles

As a clerk, you get exposure to great matters – massive commercial deals and important government work.

I feel very lucky to be able to work on unique constitutional issues or complex administrative law questions and to work alongside leading constitutional law specialists and experts.

My work can affect people in a very real way – working on a coronial inquest means I can help to give a family answers about their loved one’s death.

As a graduate solicitor, I have rotated through four different legal practice areas. I’m now in the final rotation of the graduate program, working in the inquiries practice group.

Everyone at DLA Piper has the opportunity to make an impact and shape their career by exploring their unique interests, whilst being meaningfully supported and challenged along the way.

I love working with people to assist them to get outcomes which benefit their business units, the COO and ultimately the department.

My favourite thing about being a junior lawyer is that you’re encouraged to ask questions.

The graduate program is a great opportunity to experience working in commercial law and there is no expectation that graduates have prior work experience in the legal industry.
