2 weeks ago

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia McCabes Lawyers Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year

The McCabes Law Graduate Program gives you the structure, support, and real-world experience you need to explore different areas of law and build a solid foundation for your future.

Explore more with rotations

You will rotate through up to five different practice areas, giving you a broad view of the legal world. Whether you are interested in litigation, advisory, transactional work, or something you haven't even considered yet, this is your chance to find what fits.

Mentorship that matters

You won't be doing this alone. Our lawyers are here to guide and support you, offering insights and encouragement as you build your confidence and skills.

Ongoing development

We are serious about your development. Alongside your day-to-day work, you will take part in workshops, seminars, and networking events that help you grow professionally and connect with others in the industry.

Real work, real impact

From day one, you will be working on real client matters — not just observing from the sidelines. You will be solving problems, contributing to outcomes, and making a genuine impact.

Trial by podcast

Step into the spotlight and lead our Trial by Podcast series. Explore unique legal topics and share your voice with students, professionals, and business leaders.

Culture that cares

We are proud of our friendly, inclusive culture. We value collaboration, diversity, and balance, and are committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels supported and heard.

Throughout each rotation, you will have regular check-ins with your supervisor and receive on-going support from a designated buddy. At the end of each rotation you will participate in a rotation review where you will receive feedback to help you reflect and grow. Towards the end of the program, we will work with you to find a placement in the practice area that suits you best (subject to availability within the firm).
