With our flat structure, graduates work directly with our directors and partners to deliver client work, giving us the perfect opportunity to learn from the best of the best.
The work I have been given so far has not been limited to tasks that my team knows I can complete, but rather tasks that consistently push me out of my comfort zone.
I join a live Webex session as part of K&L Gates' in-house Graduate Training Program. This is about researching caselaw. I was grateful to take away many handy tricks for researching case law - I wish I had known these tricks at uni!
We have a weekly meeting with our team and a fortnightly meeting with our broader team to give updates on what we are working on. This also gives everyone the opportunity to flag if they are having issues with something or if they will need more help.
More people with diverse perspectives and ways of thinking through problems, increases the likelihood that different solutions can be discussed, and ultimately increases the likelihood that the team can devise the most appropriate solution.
