Sydney, Australia Clayton Utz Full time

Clayton Utz acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of our country and their ongoing connections to land, waters and community. We pay our respect to Elders past and present.

As an employer in the legal services industry, we strive to be a workplace as diverse as the work that we do. We are acutely aware that First Nations people are under-represented among our employees, and we want our firm to be one of belonging, where aspiring First Nations lawyers feel supported in their ambitions.

Clayton Utz have been working to develop cultural capability across our people and practice. The process is ongoing, and we are committed to cultural safety, removing barriers, and meeting the cultural needs of our people and workplace.

That's why we’re launching our **First Nations Traineeship **program, which is an opportunity for law students who identify as First Nations to experience what it's like to work at one of Australia's leading law firms.

**What does the traineeship involve?**

The traineeship is a structured learning program that will give you the opportunity to:

- be part of one of our teams in a dedicated area of legal practice (we have 14 National Practice Groups);
- gain exposure to, and get involved in matters on which our teams are working on for our clients (including Pro Bono work);
- receive constructive feedback on how you have performed;
- participate in volunteering opportunities through our Community Connect program; and
- connect with people through social, volunteering, sporting and other activities.

You will have support every step of the way, over 12 months, including from a First Nations adviser, a dedicated coach, and a 'buddy'.

**Is the First Nations Traineeship for you?**

- enrolled in a Bachelor of Laws or a Juris Doctor at an Australian university;
- available to work 1 - 3 days per week (hours negotiable and remunerated); and
