Additionally, lawyers have the opportunity to undertake a pro bono secondment, usually in a community legal centre or not-for-profit organisation. As a global firm, we also provide our graduates with the opportunity to complete a six-month secondment in one of our international offices To date, our international trainee program has seen our Australian graduates complete secondments in the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, Johannesburg, Abu Dhabi, Athens, Paris, and Shanghai.
