We have a strong culture of developing our own team. We provide both financial support and paid study leave for associates to undertake their LLM. We generally hire at the 2-4 year level of experience from Big 6 law firms and (with appropriate qualifications) Big 4 accounting firms. We promote from within and most of our tax partners started as associates in the tax group.

We encourage travel. As an associate, senior associate and partner in the Sydney office you will be (post Covid) invited to participate in a number of regional and global training sessions to assist you during your career at Baker McKenzie with the aim of developing strong relationships with other Baker McKenzie lawyers and clients around the world.

- 1-3 years' experience;
- relevant experience in a top tier or leading international firm preferred;
- a strong client service orientation;
- strong technical, drafting and commercial skills;
- business development aptitude, interest, and experience;
- relevant legal qualifications;
- a strong academic background;
- excellent analytical, communication, and research skills;
- a commitment to high work standards and strong attention to detail;
- an ability to demonstrate initiative and proactivity;
- an ability to develop strong relationships with clients and to take responsibility for this relationship;
- an ability to work well in a team environment (including across Australian offices and internationally); and
- a willingness to learn.
