Please tell us about promotion possibilities and fill us in on what it takes to move up the ranks.
It seems as though working here sets you up well to move up in the company or to others. Many of the juniors seem to be working to get promotions and are supported in doing so.
Graduate, Sydney
Like any law firm, a person can go from being a graduate at the beginning of their career to being a partner after years at the firm. This means that progression is largely linear; flowing from graduate to solicitor to senior associate to senior counsel to partner. In order to be eligible for promotion, one has to demonstrate that they can contribute to the firms goals and add value to it as a business. This often means finding an area one is interested in and carving out a valuable practice from which the firm can benefit.

There is a clear path for most Graduates from the Graduate Program to a settled position in the company.
Graduate, Melbourne
In order to move up the ranks I think it obviously takes hard work and determination. However, I think specialisation is also important. If there is an area of law that interests you and you want to gain more experience there are many opportunities at the firm to work on these types of matters.
