President of UTS LSS

Erika Serrano

PRESIDENT OF UTS LSS never be afraid to deviate or try something new. UTS Law has the highest percentage of graduate employment of any Sydney based law school. I encourage you to be confident in your skills, the knowledge you have gained through your studies at UTS and to make the most of the opportunities available to you due to your UTS legal education.

Welcome to the UTS LSS Careers Guide for 2022!

This year the UTS LSS has made a conscious effort to embrace diversity across the career opportunities offered to our members, as we know that our members are unique and have a passion for a multitude of legal careers and pathways. We also recognise that a UTS Law degree provides students with access to so many opportunities and that there is no one size fits all approach to navigating our careers during and after university. In this same spirit, the UTS LSS Careers Team has worked extremely hard to provide you with this guide, which offers a wealth of information that is useful at any stage of your degree.

I would like to acknowledge and extend my thanks to all of the people who have worked tirelessly to piece together this guide, in particular, Careers (Publications) Director, Alexandra Haggerty, Vice-President (Careers) Melanie Najdovski, designer Tahlia Kho, and the amazing members of our Careers (Publications) Subcommittee. Thank you to our contributors who shared their wisdom and advice through this guide. Finally, I would like to extend a warm thank you to our sponsors, many of whom have been included in this guide, for their ongoing support of our publications and initiatives. Without their support, the work of the UTS LSS would not be possible.

Whether this guide provides you with exposure to a potential new area of interest for your career, or simply gives you tips on how to build your career, I trust that you will find something interesting and new to consider. Enjoy the read and I wish you all the best of luck with your future careers!
