“My 2023 Clerkship with Kain Lawyers was extremely rewarding. From day one, the team was very warm and welcoming, assisting me to make the most of my Clerkship. The team took the time to explain how the firm works and provided invaluable training sessions led by the firm’s technical leads in each practice area, empowering me to be informed, prepared, and challenged. I was exposed to a variety of meaningful and technical tasks including research, drafting documents and in-depth interactions with clients. The team is exceptional at providing context to tasks and feedback, giving you the tools to succeed and develop your practical legal skills. The support and collegiality throughout the Clerkship and its social aspect makes you feel like part of the team.”

“I started as a Clerk at Kain Lawyers in November 2022 and have continued full time as a Graduate Clerk in 2023. Throughout my Clerkship I had the opportunity to work alongside a number of Directors and Lawyers getting to help out on all aspects of various transactions. From day one I was able to get involved on deals including attending client meetings and helping draft a range of transaction documents. I have enjoyed working in a firm that actively prioritises creating a supportive environment, with people of all levels always willing to help and answer questions. I also had fun visiting the Sydney office where we got to network and meet clients as well as have dinners with the Sydney team and go for an early morning Bondi to Brontee coastal walk.”

“Kain Lawyers places a strong emphasis on the growth and development of its Clerks and junior Lawyers, generating valuable opportunities for both professional and personal development. During my time as a Clerk and now as an Associate at the firm, I have had access to a comprehensive training program specifically designed for junior Lawyers, which covers all aspects of M&A. This tailored program has been instrumental in equipping me with the necessary skills and knowledge to begin developing my expertise and personal brand. Kain Lawyers attracts and wins top-tier work from sophisticated clients. There is a strong focus on providing junior Lawyers with an opportunity to work across all aspects of these files from the start of their career. This focus has led to constant exposure to complex legal and commercial problems, broadening my skill set and sharpening my analytical skills. I highly recommend the Kain Lawyers Clerkship program to anyone seeking a rewarding and transformative experience at the beginning of their legal career.”
