Automatic promotion to associate at the start of the new financial year after completing the two year graduate program. Relatively quick progression to senior associate.
I consider the progression from graduate to associate then to senior associate is a natural progression at the firm. Almost all lawyers will achieve that progression within 5 years of settling in a team. This progression does involve fulfilling all of your obligations and performing at a consistent high-level. From there, it is not as clear that you will progress to Special Counsel or Partner with the firm. That will necessarily involve an extra level of commitment to grow your client base / build your case for attaining that next level of seniority.
Corrs provides regular performance and development reviews, which create opportunities to discuss career goals and the types of work you would like to be involved in. People are encouraged to speak up about their interests and aspirations, and there is strong support for gaining experience across different matters and practice areas. More broadly, there is a clear progression pathway, particularly in the early years of your career. Expectations at each level are transparent, and people generally have a good understanding of what is required to develop and move to the next stage. In my experience, Corrs provides genuine opportunities to pursue your career aspirations and takes an active interest in supporting professional growth.
