Who We Are

Johnson Winter Slattery (JWS) is a leading Australian law firm known for advising corporates and funds on their most complex transactions, disputes and regulatory matters.

At JWS, we build authentic, long-term relationships and have a deep understanding of our clients and their industries. Our clients say we are pragmatic, strategic, commercial and easy to work with.

Our firm is comprised of more than 450 highly talented people, including 80+ partners, across Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra, Brisbane and Perth. We are globally connected and have strong relationships with major independent law firms around the world.

JWS was recognised as Technology, Media and Telecom M&A Legal Adviser of the Year (Mergermarket M&A Awards Australia 2023), Energy Law Firm of the Year (Best Lawyers 2023) and Australian Law Firm of the Year (Beaton Client Choice Awards 2025). Our lawyers are highly ranked in Chambers & Partners, Legal 500 and Lexology Index (formerly Who's Who Legal).

We are strongly committed to social justice, responsible business and our diverse communities. We are proud of our pro bono program which focuses on supporting low income, disadvantaged and marginalised people in the Australian community.

Your Career With Us

Our graduate and clerkship programs offer exposure to high-profile matters and diverse practice areas. You'll be mentored by partners and senior lawyers who are genuinely invested in your development.

At JWS, your opportunities reflect your ability — not your title. You'll be encouraged to think commercially, contribute meaningfully, and take ownership of your work from day one.

We are looking for clerks who combine strong academic performance with excellent communication skills, a collaborative approach, and a drive to achieve the best outcomes for clients.

Our clerkship program is open to students in their penultimate year of a relevant law degree with full Australian or New Zealand working rights (citizenship or permanent residency).

Applications must include:

  • A cover letter
  • A current CV
  • An official academic transcript

Please address your application to: Wilma Lewis, People & Development Manager

Applications close on Friday, 8 August 2025 at 5:00 PM AEST.
