You move from grad to lawyer to senior associate. Speed is very dependent on the individual.

There is a great promotional pathway that has been implemented into the firm's internal governance. This helps employees understand what they are expected of to be eligible for promotions.
Summer Clerk, Sydney - 07 Feb 2025
This is a fixed term internship so there are no prospects of progression. I appreciate the opportunity to apply to be part of a pool of candidates for paralegal work.
Intern, Perth - 06 Feb 2025
There is a pathway for promotion from lawyer to senior associate to special counsel to Partner and beyond. There is typically 4-5 years before becoming a senior associate. Promotions after are usually based on merit and business need.
Intern, Sydney - 04 Feb 2025
Yes. There is are paralegal opportunities that have been relayed to us during the clerkship - not to mention graduate opportunities.
Intern, Sydney - 04 Feb 2025
Promotion opportunities parallel an individual’s tenure at the company so loyalty is (generally) rewarded. There defined tracks for senior positions and mobility but can be team dependent given varying dynamics.

It takes a lot, but that's the same at every firm. At least here, people will help lift you up and tell you what you need to do to move up.
Graduate, Melbourne - 16 Jul 2024
Offers opportunities for ascension as fast as employee wishes.
Lawyer, Melbourne - 15 Jul 2024
Billable hours, pro bono, knowledge management expectations. Usual to a firm of this size. There is a clear career progression line towards Partner if that is what you want. It isn't easy but it is there.
Graduate, Sydney - 12 Jul 2024
It seems like promotion is perhaps too fixed. There are benefits to having a lock-step salary model but it does not provide much incentive to perform beyond regular KPI's which are already quite onerous when you're starting out. Also, the gap between SA to special counsel and partner continues to widen.

I haven't considered this.
Graduate, Melbourne - 10 Nov 2023
