WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A POTENTIAL EMPLOYEE?
We’re looking for people who are personable, practical, commercially-savvy, as well as flexible. Our lawyers undertake complex and innovative legal work, so it’s important that our clerks and graduates are motivated individuals who aren’t afraid of a challenge. We’re also interested in learning more about people’s outside interests. It’s important to have a life outside of work and we support that. Most importantly, we are looking for people we’d enjoy working alongside. We want clerks and graduates who embody the firm’s behavioural values of trust, respect and co-operation and our foundation value of highest ethical standards in all that they do.
