Sydney Summer Clerkship Program
Our summer clerkship program provides you with a genuine insight into life at Baker McKenzie - our work, our people, our development opportunities and our culture.
What to expect
At Baker McKenzie, we understand that the transition from university to legal practice can be challenging. We provide our summer clerks with a comprehensive induction program, to help make this transition as smooth as possible.
Our training program is designed to help you get the most out of your summer clerkship and set yourself up for success.
We consult with our summer clerks before they commence to understand the areas of practice in which they are interested in gaining experience.
We structure our summer clerks' rotations according to these preferences, where possible.In Sydney, our key practice groups are:
- Banking & Finance ;
- Corporate (including Mergers & Acquisitions, Private Equity and Capital Markets);
- Commercial Real Estate;
- Construction;
- Dispute Resolution, Litigation & Insolvency;
- Employment & Industrial Relations;
- Energy Resources Infrastructure & Corporate;
- Environmental Markets;
- Funds;
- Intellectual Property;
- Media;
- Tax; and
- Technology Communications & Commercial.
Most importantly, as a summer clerk, we want you to see what life is like as a graduate and junior lawyer at Baker McKenzie.
You will be exposed to our Australian and international clients through client meetings and shadowing, and other everyday activities within your assigned practice group (such as drafting correspondence, preparing court/transaction documents, drafting advices/agreements, legal research, document review, attending court/mediations, attending meetings with barristers/witnesses, attending settlements, and preparing client alerts).
You will also have the opportunity to participate in pro bono files and community service initiatives.Our summer clerks are guided by a supervising partner and enjoy the extra support of an experienced associate "buddy". They also work closely with our lawyers of all levels. You will develop practical and legal skills through our national learning program and by attending Firm-wide sessions.
Throughout the summer clerkship, our partners and associates run professional development sessions on their areas of expertise too, specifically for summer clerks.
Our various sessions will give you the chance to:- build your network within the Firm;
- develop your legal skills;
- learn about our practices, clients and Firm structure;
- hear about our global training and work opportunities; and
- learn about our Pro Bono and Community Service programs and Inclusion, Diversity & Equity initiatives.
We will also provide you with opportunities to network with colleagues around the Firm - through our 'speed networking' program and various social events with your buddy, our partners and our lawyers.
