Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Davies Collison Cave Full time

Davies Collison Cave Law (DCCL) offers a focused Intellectual Property (IP) Law seasonal clerkship program. The program enables you to gain hands-on experience in a top tier IP law firm, where you will work alongside world leading IP lawyers. The work you will undertake will be contentious and non-contentious IP work, including major IP litigation (often international), covering multiple IP statutory regimes, the Australian Consumer Law and associated contractual, administrative, procedural and evidentiary law. At DCCL you will have the opportunity to begin your IP law career from the day you start your clerkship

**The DCCL Seasonal Clerkship Program**
We believe the most valuable clerkships are those that provide students with hands-on experience. We won't spend half of your clerkship putting you through induction training — instead, you will be learning on the go, from day one. You will gain direct supervision from the lead principals of the practice and senior practitioners. You will experience the diversity of the industries and technologies we work with locally and globally.

**Benefits of a Seasonal Clerkship at DCCL**
- Work directly with world leading IP lawyers on a variety of case work.
- Gain mentorship from practice principals, not just the junior lawyers.
- Buddy system, where you will be paired with a junior lawyer.
- Attendance at social events, where you will meet and network with principals and professional staff across the firm.
- Gain one-on-one IP education and mentorship.
