Are you ready to help create the next chapter of our story?
Clyde & Co is running a national Summer Clerkship Program for
2024/2025 and invites you to submit your application.
If you're looking for the perfect environment to learn, develop and
progress, Clyde & Co is the place for you. We're a growing firm
(one of the fastest growing in the world, in fact) working at the
heart of sectors that drive global trade and commerce and this
experience will not only enhance your legal skills, but also broaden
your understanding of different cultures and business practices.
This Program is our primary method for graduate recruitment and many
of our Summer Clerks go on to start their legal career with us.
What you'll do
As a Clyde & Co Summer Clerk, you will gain exposure to our niche
practice areas and experience more than just shadowing our lawyers.

Experience real work by observing cases, drafting responses,
providing advice and preparing research
Get involved in significant deals, meetings and negotiations
Attend court hearings, arbitrations and mediations to see the
different types of litigation available first-hand
Learn about the nuances of privacy advice and the Cyber landscape
in Australia and New Zealand
Work alongside leading Insurance lawyers as they demystify the
myths of insurance law
What we provide

valuable insight into how we operate. Clyde & Co Clerks will be
provided with:
A dedicated performance coach and buddy who will help you settle
in and provide guidance and support throughout your placement
A formal induction program, equipping you with the necessary
knowledge and skills to succeed
Ongoing training and information sessions to broaden your
understanding and strengthen your competencies
Opportunities to build your business development skills by being
provided with many client facing opportunities
Plenty of social events, allowing you to network with not only the
other clerks but with colleagues from across the firm

The opportunity to get involved in community and pro bono work,
and learn about our Diversity & Inclusion committees
Opportunities to connect with interstate clerks and build a
national network
What we are looking for
We're proud to be a genuinely diverse firm. We don't look for a
certain type of person. We look for people who can bring us something
different. New ideas. Fresh perspectives. Open-mindedness. And the
kind of collaborative spirit that leads to powerful solutions to
complex problems. We are interested in engaging with clerks who are:
Self-motivated, naturally proactive and full of initiative
Commercially minded and have an entrepreneurial spirit
Team players
Equipped with innovation and great attention to detail
