Asian Law Students' Association International Career Directory Profiles

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

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.

The aspect of my job I love the most is the teamwork it involves. Each matter often requires input from various practice groups, meaning you are always working with and learning from different people.

Working as a lawyer not only requires you to recite case law and legislation but also requires you to give commercial rounded advice.

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.
