What do we look for in our clerks and graduates?

Our Graduate and Clerkship programs are designed for people who enjoy a challenge and want new opportunities; who are strong academically and practical in their approach; who like taking responsibility and getting things done; who express themselves confidently while staying open to new ideas; who seek a friendly and inclusive culture where making a difference to our local and global communities matters.

Graduate Program

Graduates in Sydney complete three rotations over two years before they join a particular practice as an associate. Graduates are assigned a supervising partner and a buddy in each rotation to oversee their on-the-job and formal learning. In addition, graduates may apply for our Associate Secondment Program, with the opportunity to work for up to three months in one of our Asia Pacific offices during their first three years of practice. This is a unique opportunity to experience the culture and legal work of another office, and develop contacts within the Baker & McKenzie network.
