What We Look For
There isn't an 'Allens' type' – in fact, the more you enjoy working with a variety of
people, the greater your success will be. Diverse perspectives help solve complex
problems. On top of that, teams are stronger, client relationships become richer and
life is just more interesting.
Put simply, we look for intelligence and curiosity combined. That said, we know that
there are certain attributes that are key to our success. We ask you to bring your
initiative, your high standard of work and drive, and your positivity. Our clients
often tell us we have 'great people'. And it's true. We look for people who can bring a
fresh perspective and energy to everything they do, with the ability to create strong
relationships with each other and with clients. We aim to recruit people who are
open minded, willing to learn, and committed to contributing to the firm in many
different ways.
Graduate Program
Working at Allens is a two-way street.
We offer you the possibility of a rewarding career, challenging work, access to
strategic minds, an extensive learning program and the opportunity to be the best
you can be.
In return, we ask you to show initiative, work hard, demonstrate your
commerciality and be resilient.
It's about working together to make possibilities happen.
We have designed a graduate program that will not only enhance your technical
expertise, but that will equip you with the business development and interpersonal
skills required by all lawyers who are serious about building a practice.
You will complete two twelve-month rotations in two different practice groups
before you specialise. Our rotations will allow you build the kind of expertise, trust
and relationships that enable you to grow and succeed from an early stage in your
career.
You'll also benefit from:
•
•
An intensive induction program to kick-start your career;
A development supervisor, who’ll act as your mentor throughout your

rotations, to ensure you gain optimum experience and client exposure;
A dedicated Performance Coach helping you to accelerate your on-the-job
performance and progression
Weekly in-house legal education seminars that give you a solid grounding in
the basic technical knowledge all lawyers must have, whatever their practice
group;
Ongoing skill development workshops run by internal and external
providers;
A broad range of work that exposes you to different areas of law, different
teams and different clients;
Videos, podcasts and online training workshops;
Development/career planning; and
An in-house Practical Legal Training program designed by the ANU and
tailored specifically to Allens. You’ll aim to be admitted to the Supreme Court
at the end of your first year.
What other opportunities and experiences does Allens offer its graduates e.g.
secondments or travel opportunities?
We offer secondments across Allens offices in Australia and throughout Asia, as
well as international assignments to Linklaters offices around the world. For
example, four of our 2013 law graduates will spend their second rotation at
Linklaters' London office.
If you opt for a client secondment, you might find yourself working at one of the
world’s top 100 companies, or a pro-bono secondment could see you working with
one of our many community partners across the region.

“I knew from the interview! that Gilbert + Tobin was the place for me. There was no
interrogation, just a positive and thorough conversation.”
Vikram Kumar, Perth 2013 Clerk, 2014 Graduate
“In addition to being! provided with challenging! and stimulating work, I found the

Partners stopping by your desk for a chat and junior lawyers with knowledge far
beyond their years is the norm here at Gilbert + Tobin.

Firm Directory
Throughout my clerkship I was exposed to real work. I researched authorities to
support submissions! to the Supreme Court and I drafted memorandums of advice. I
attended a special conference at the Supreme Court with a client and had coffee
with a prominent Perth barrister.
My clerkship at Gilbert + Tobin was a real insight into the day-to- day work of a
litigation lawyer. Knowing I would be surrounded by knowledgeable, respectful,
professional and friendly people made choosing to come back to Gilbert + Tobin an
easy choice.”
Kyle Moss, Perth 2013 Winter Clerk, 2014 Graduate
My overall experience during the clerkship program was extremely enjoyable. I
completed a rotation in the Energy + Resources group, which is one of my areas of
interest. The work assigned to me was by no means limited to remedial tasks to
occupy the time, and I felt that I was able to really get a taste for the type of work
Gilbert + Tobin does.
In addition to being provided with challenging and stimulating work, I found the
office to be a very tight-knit yet inclusive environment. It felt that everyone,
regardless of their practice group, was making an attempt to meet me and make me
feel welcome throughout the three weeks. I certainly felt that the social aspects of
Gilbert and Tobin greatly contributed to my enjoyment during the clerkship.

plans and future objectives. You will participate in performance reviews at the
conclusion of each rotation. This is to facilitate your development and to strive
together towards your personal and professional career growth.

discuss topical matters and individual workloads.

requirements, you will complete the Practical Legal Training (PLT) Program
provided through the College of Law. Jackson McDonald meets all costs associated

base of practical legal skills that you can put to use in your daily work. We work
closely with our law graduates to ensure that you get the support you need
throughout the course. Study and exam leave is provided and the HR team are
always happy to chat if you are finding it hard to balance your firm and College of

culture, practice areas, clients and more. For many, the clerkship is the first stage
of continuous development at King & Wood Mallesons.

your clerkship, you’ll learn:
The day-to-day skills to get you started – taking instructions, meeting with clients,
drafting memos and documents, managing your practice and professional

The core practice teams at King & Wood Mallesons – who they are, what they do,
how they’re structured, the clients they work for, and of course, your role within
them.
73
Firm Directory
Our culture – working within your team, you’ll be exposed to (and encouraged) to
get actively involved in the many activities and events that help create our unique
culture.
Our people – you’ll find that people from every part of the business will help you
along, sharing their knowledge, and ensuring you have everything you need to fit
in, and do well.
Your role
Clerks usually work in one practice group, depending on the length of the clerkship.
You’ll be allocated a supervisor in each of your practice groups and you’ll work
closely with the partners, senior associates and solicitors in that team. It’s a handson role, so you’ll not just be watching from the sidelines. During your time in the
team, you’ll be involved in telephone conversations, meetings, client visits and the
deals the team is working on.
Every clerk receives feedback. Informal feedback is also provided on the job from
partners, senior associates or solicitors talking you through the work you do.
Our people have the opportunity to get involved in the many social and sporting
activities that go on in the firm as well as the broader community in which we live.
Graduate Program
Our graduates participate in a targeted development program, we have a
framework that cultivates valuable skills and that sets them up for success now and
in the future.
What you’ll learn
The program provides a practical business foundation for junior lawyers. You’ll
receive:
Meaningful work covering a wide range of practice areas
Client contact and an in-depth understanding of how they operate in a commercial
and regulatory environment
The opportunity to work with a range of partners, senior associates and solicitors in
different practice groups
A practical understanding of areas of our legal practice
A comprehensive knowledge of the firm, our technology, our resources, our
processes and, of course, the people you’ll work with.
74
Firm Directory
As part of the Graduate Program, we also offer a Practical Legal Training (PLT)
course with the College of Law to our Australian Law Graduates, ensuring that you
meet the requirements for admission to legal practice.
The program also promotes and supports the mobility of our staff across our offices
by giving you the opportunity to apply to go on exchange in one of our interstate or
overseas offices. Through this, you are able to access a greater choice and variety of
destinations and on-the-job experience.
What do we look for?
If you relish the prospect of working in a dynamic team, learning from experts at
the top of their game and being involved in cutting edge legal work, you’re just the
sort of person we’d like as a King & Wood Mallesons clerk or graduate.
You’ll be able to demonstrate a real interest in, and perspective of, commercial law.
And we’d hope you would be excited by the opportunity to step outside your
comfort zone, develop new skills and working closely with leaders in their field.
Being a great lawyer is more than simply knowing the law. It involves work-life
balance, being switched on to events shaping the future, and having a genuine drive
for what you do. We’re interested in your life experiences, interests outside of work,
and the things you are passionate about.
We’re a friendly, approachable, and down to earth firm, so we’re looking for
likeminded people who are a strong fit with the firm’s culture and our brand.
The qualities we value are commitment, passion, teamwork, and the motivation to
think differently. Clients are looking not only for superior technical knowledge, but
also people who are great to work with and unafraid to push the envelope.
You’ll work in an environment that will challenge your mind and technical
capabilities, supported with a strong team culture to help you succeed.
If this sounds like you, arrange to talk to one of our graduate resourcing
consultants or find out more by visiting our website, www.kwm.com.
