Melbourne Seasonal Clerk Program null

Our clerkships offer a unique chance to experience corporate law and learn from some of Australia’s most talented legal minds. Our Melbourne programs run for four weeks in either winter or summer, providing a placement across Banking + Projects, Competition + Regulation, Corporate Advisory, Disputes + Investigations and Tech + IP.

What will I experience?

During your clerkship, you’ll be provided with a supervising partner, a mentor and a buddy who will help you develop your day-to-day legal and personal skills. You’ll also grow with the help of structured in-house training, covering drafting and technical skills through to business development and personal branding.

You’ll mainly work within one of the above corporate law practice areas, and you’ll also have the chance to work on innovation projects or pro bono matters. This is your opportunity to explore areas you’re interested in, push out of your comfort zone and bring your own ideas and perspective to the team. Plus, you’ll build a valuable network that will support you throughout your career – wherever it takes you next.

Is a G+T clerkship right for me?

The Melbourne program is open to students in their penultimate or final year of study. Our culture is built on inclusivity and individuality, and we want you to feel like you can be yourself at work. Our people are ambitious, creative and entrepreneurial – they bring energy and a can-do mindset and are willing to challenge assumptions. If that sounds like you, you’ll feel like you belong here.

Ready to join?

With a challenger mindset, G+T is always pushing the status quo and taking a stand on things that matter. That’s why we constantly seek new ideas, fresh energy and different perspectives from our clerks and graduates. Work at the forefront of significant change in our society and economy, and open the door to experiences that will shape your career – wherever you want it to take you.
