Many training and further learning programs available from lunch l&d sessions to organised skills development training. coaching and mentoring requires a little more proactivity, but senior staff are willing and engaged.
The firm has a very clear program for training and mentoring for its graduates. the one week intensive graduate induction training at the head office in melbourne provided a valuable introduction to the firm, its people and its processes. online training systems and resources ensure that we always have access to training / additional assistance when required. training goes beyond firm-specific technology, such as providing workshops on wellbeing and work-life balance strategies. there is an excellent mentorship program that pairs you with a supervisor and buddy in reach rotation to ensure you are well supported throughout the graduate year. each team also offers frequent learning and development / cpd training to ensure all lawyers remain up to date with reforms / developments in their areas of practice. there is also a big focus on training in technological innovation / the responsible use of ai / preparing for the future legal industry.
Lots of both formal and informal feedback and learning opportunities. there is a grad learning & development program throughout the year with regular seminars to attend, plus daily on the job feedback and regular catch ups with your buddy and supervisor. each team has regular lawyer further development program presentations on topics of interest.
