Graduate position transitions straight into a Lawyer role once admitted. A Lawyer then becomes Senior Associate after several years, then a Special Counsel, followed by a Partner. From looking at those who are promoted, it appears it takes a willingness to learn, dedication to the role and positive attitude. My career aspirations involve eventually climbing the hierarchy. The opportunity to be promoted straight after being admitted provides a sense that there is a clear path towards my goals.
As a graduate I cannot attest personally to the promotion and career opportunities just yet. All I can say is that there are many former graduates that are now moving up the ranks in the firm which sends a good message about the career progression opportunities to younger individuals within the firm. The firm also makes sure to highlight opportunities and the pathways available.
As a graduate, there are ample opportunities to progress. Firstly, we are provided with support in undertaking our PLT through study leave days and assistance with preparing for admission. After our graduate year concludes, we are provided with the opportunity to 'settle' in a practice area that aligns with our interest and career aspirations. Unlike many other firms, this firm strives to prioritise the preferences of the graduates in reaching these decisions. Once graduates 'settle' in a practice group as a lawyer, there are regular performance and pay reviews which provide opportunities for promotion.
