Who are we?

Johnson Winter & Slattery was started by three lawyers who wanted to do things differently. We've grown rapidly to become one of Australia's leading independent firms and have offices in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.

Working with us will give you all the benefits that come with working for a leading law firm and much more. We will put you at the forefront of the corporate world, working with our clients on their most complex and business critical legal work - it's what we do best.

It's our people that really sets us apart. We pride ourselves on being down to earth, approachable and, quite simply, a great place to work.

You will be given the opportunity to work on matters impacting major Australian and international corporations, and on some of the most challenging transactions throughout Australia and surrounding regions.

In addition to 'on the job' training you will also have the opportunity to learn from our specially designed training program for junior lawyers. Learning, development and mentoring are key features on both of our programs and you will be well supported by a network of colleagues.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for Seasonal Clerks to join our 2024/25 Clerkship Program in our Perth office. 

As a clerk, you will have the opportunity to work on matters impacting major Australian and international corporations, and on some of the most challenging transactions throughout Australia and surrounding regions.

Why choose us?

  • Accelerate your career: Our flexible team structure means you will not be held back. Our lawyers take on the work that reflects their ability, not their job title. You'll also benefit from your own structured and bespoke professional development program. There are no barriers to your success with us.
  • Go your own way: Our business model is different to other firms. We want our lawyers to focus on the quality of their legal work and client experience. That means you won't be under pressure to meet billing targets. You will compete with your adversaries, not your peers.
  • It's a vibe thing: What truly sets us apart is our people. We pride ourselves on being down to earth, approachable, but always high performing. Our ethos is: "we're in it together" and it's what we live by.

Join us!

If you are enthusiastic, driven to succeed and want to continually develop your skills, you'll fit right in.

We're looking for graduates who have not only excelled academically, but have great communications skills, thrive in a collaborative environment and want to deliver legal advice to create the best outcomes for our clients.
