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.

Communicate with different people, explore new experiences, and be compassionate towards yourself and others.

I’m often asked to assist by conducting research into niche areas of law, preparing correspondence and attending client meetings and court.

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.

Working in a new culture requires you to be agile, adaptable and to understand how to respond to new social situations. I have been able to take this experience back to Australia when working on cross-border deals with clients who are based in Hong Kong and other jurisdictions.

Johnson Winter Slattery provides great training and support during both the clerkship and graduate program.
