Our Junior Secretary Program gives business college graduates the opportunity to try three different practice groups over twelve months. After that time, you will be placed in a practice group that suits your skills and interests.

While you are on the program you will have a Senior Secretary as a mentor and have formal feedback and development planning at the end of each rotation.

The program gives you the opportunity to:

Try different areas of law before choosing a path of specialisation;
Learn skills through working with a range of secretaries and lawyers;
Build relationships and contact throughout the Firm; and
Develop a broad understanding of how the Firm operates.

You'll also gain some formal training opportunities throughout the program including sessions on:

Being an effective legal secretary
Court systems
Effective relationship management
Managing tasks and timeframes
