We offer three types of internships that provide law students with the chance to gain real-life experience and learn in a practical environment alongside experienced legal professionals in our office. These internships offer skill development opportunities, the chance to work with seasoned professionals to acquire sort-after legal knowledge and real client experience.
The clerkship program at Brand Barristers and Solicitors offers students a valuable opportunity to enhance their legal skills, deepen their knowledge of the Australian legal system, and gain insights into advocating for clients who have experienced injuries or harm.
Students may also be exposed to dispute resolution methods and the negotiation aspects specific to personal injury law.
The clerkship is a paid position providing students with valuable placement experience including boarder client service, legal administration and corporate office experience.
Our work experience program offers law students the opportunity to shadow an experienced lawyer and gain insight into their day-to-day activities.
The program runs for a period of two to three days per week spanning four to six weeks.
During this time, students will have the chance to observe court proceedings, assist with document preparation, engage in paralegal tasks such as preparing discoverables, statements of claims and special damages as well as taking new client enquires.
Our work experience program is a paid placement, providing students with financial compensation for their participation.
We aim to enhance opportunities for law students in their final year to gain practical experience through real-life exposure.
