Gilbert + Tobin

Our clerkships offer a unique chance to experience corporate law, and learn from some of Australia’s most talented legal minds. In Perth, we offer 3 week summer and winter clerkships. Clerks will have the opportunity to work in our Corporate Advisory, Energy, Resources + Infrastructure, Disputes + Investigations, Banking + Projects or Technology + IP practice areas.

Is a G+T clerkship right for me?

The Perth program is open to students in their penultimate or final year of study. Our culture is driven by respect and inclusion, entrepreneurism, integrity and active citizenship. Our people are ambitious, creative and entrepreneurial, they bring energy and a can-do mindset and are willing to challenge assumptions. If you have the restless ambition to work at the heart of change, and if you are prepared to take initiative, you’ll feel like you belong here.

What will I experience?

During your clerkship, you’ll be provided with a supervising partner, a mentor and a buddy who will help you develop your day-to-day legal and personal skills. You’ll also grow with the help of structured in-house training, covering drafting and technical skills through to business development and personal branding.

You’ll have the opportunity to work on innovation projects and pro bono matters alongside your corporate law practice. Explore new interests, step outside your comfort zone and bring fresh ideas to the team, all while building a strong network to support your career wherever it takes you.

Ready to join?

With a challenger mindset, G+T is always pushing the status quo and taking a stand on things that matter. That’s why we constantly seek new ideas, fresh energy and different perspectives from our clerks and graduates. Work at the forefront of significant change in our society and economy, and open the door to experiences that will shape your career – wherever you want it to take you.
