National Law Graduate Program

OPPORTUNITY
We focus on building strong business-minded lawyers, who can work closely with clients and understand their challenges and opportunities and add value to their businesses. To do this we believe it is essential to give our graduates hands-on experience as early as possible in their careers. This might mean you will be on the floor of a client's factory, in a car yard or transport depot, in a client's commercial office in the CBD or front and centre at a mediation.
We have an exciting opportunity for talented and ambitious law graduates to join our National Graduate Program in 2026:
- This is a full-time 12-month program. We have opportunities in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Dandenong.
