The work I received throughout the clerkship was incredibly varied and was genuine, real client work. It was rewarding to see how the work I was doing was actually being used to support the client too!
As a clerk, paralegal and then graduate entering the legal market, I was excited to get into work at HSF and frustrated at the many stumbling blocks that would pop up along the way.
As a junior lawyer in the Corporate Transactions team, I have the responsibility of drafting a variety of transaction, ASX, ASIC, and FIRB documents, as well as undertaking legal research and due diligence.
Get a legal job or volunteer position as soon as possible. If you can land a legal job in your first year, it makes getting a clerkship and subsequently a grad job a whole lot easier!
