Successful candidates get the opportunity to experience real life work during their summer clerkship, and are provided with a supervising partner and a buddy (who is a junior lawyer). The programme begins with a fast-track induction into law and our firm, giving you all the tools you need for a successful summer with us. We will offer you challenging and exciting work, support and mentorship, as well as many opportunities for professional and personal growth – all while you are developing new networks and friendships.
Our summer clerks are an important part of the team in our Auckland and Wellington offices – helping out on major deals, being involved in court cases, going to client meetings, attending team training and taking part in firm functions. A number of our summer clerks also experience a week’s client secondment during their time with us.
