We have partnered with InsideSherpa to provide an interactive virtual internship that gives you a true-to-life experience of commercial work at a top-tier law firm. In this innovative online program, participants will be briefed on work by partners and lawyers, then submit legal tasks. Once complete, they’ll unlock real work samples that reveal how a MinterEllison lawyer completed the same tasks.
We’re not looking for people to fit a certain mould. Your academic results are just one part of who you are. Work experience, extracurricular activities, sporting participation, music and travel are all important criteria to us. At MinterEllison, we want you to bring your whole self to work – because it is your unique strengths, experiences and perspectives that build our teams up to be the successes they are.
An outstanding applicant will know their application inside and out. They will be confident in their responses and be able to provide real-life examples to the questions we ask. They will have a desire to get to know the business and the people at the firm – what draws these people to MinterEllison and what do they enjoy there? They’re interested in knowing these things, so they can make the right choice for themselves.
We invite you to apply for our Clerkship and Graduate programs and we look forward to meeting you in your city.
