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.

I find that the coolest part of my work is that we get to advise people on the law and potentially teach them about something they were not aware of or did not understand. In the majority of cases, I can be happy knowing that people walk away from a meeting, or phone call, having a better view of their circumstances than when they arrived.

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

Get involved – being a lawyer is all about being involved in your community, the sooner the better.

I love client appointments and interacting with people. Our clients are all very pleasant to deal with and are often very appreciative of our advice.
