We invite applications from law students for positions as cadet lawyers.
This is a rare opportunity for students who are keen to acquire practical legal skills by working in a modern law firm.
These are permanent career positions with reduced and flexible working hours during university semesters to accommodate your studies on a reduced-load basis. They include annual leave, sick leave and superannuation calculated on a pro-rata basis. They are not vacation clerkships; nor are they designed to offer temporary student employment – we are looking for people who will stay with us for the duration of their degree and beyond.
We offer a high level of supervision, support and regular in-house training; however, we expect you to acquire practical skills quickly in your designated area of employment with a view to making a meaningful contribution.
We encourage cadets to perform well academically and to participate to a reasonable degree in extra-curricular university activities. Our alumni include winners and finalists of the UWA Opening Mooting, Trial Advocacy and Negotiation competitions. In 2017 one of our members spent the year studying in Beijing and Hong Kong on a New Colombo Plan Scholarship.
What does the job entail?
You will be employed as a legal professional.
You will start your career in our real estate settlements or debt collection (litigation) departments. These area have a high volume of client files and well-established systems for delivering services, which will allow you to quickly learn our procedures and how to use our software, ContactsLaw .
A mentor will monitor your progress and work closely with you to help you develop the skills you need to hit the ground running and operate as an effective member of our team. You will liaise with clients, take charge of and manage your own files from the outset.
We encourage all members of our team to participate in the management of the firm, for example, in marketing activities, software development, systems administration, or document management.
The practical skills that you acquire should kick-start your career in law and place you well ahead of your peers professionally by the time that they graduate.
What we offer
You will be employed on a permanent basis subject to a six month probation period. We are looking for long-term employees, and several of our currently-employed lawyers began working with us through this program.
You will be paid at the Legal Services Award rate, plus superannuation. You will be entitled to annual leave and paid sick leave. You will be entitled to an average of 13 hours per week study leave during university semesters.
Your performance and remuneration will be formally reviewed annually. We will pay you according to the value of your ability and contribution rather than your level of qualifications or years of experience.
What we’re looking for
To be considered for these positions you will:
be enrolled in a law course at a local university;
have a strong ATAR, (or TER/TEE) score and above average university grades;
be committed to a professional career as a lawyer in the private sector;
be sufficiently self-disciplined to balance the competing demands of a responsible job, university studies and a personal life;
keenly embrace technology as a means of enhancing the delivery of legal services;
be a leader and a team player; and
have a sense of humour.
You must be prepared to work an average of 25 hours per week during university semesters (although there is scope for flexibility depending on exam schedules etc) and full-time during university holidays; and to reduce the level of your university commitments accordingly. It will take longer to complete your degree as a result, but the work you do with us will equip you with valuable practical and knowledge and skills. Our cadets’ university marks tend to improve over time as their experience at work overlaps with their studies .
You will benefit from our experience in helping cadets manage their work and study loads; however it requires considerable self-discipline on your part (eg studying on the weekends!). Our cadetships are demanding jobs that require a serious investment of time and energy.
A different kind of law firm
Although we have been in business for over 40 years, we strive to lead as a digital law firm and have embraced the NewLaw business model. As part of this revolution, you will participate in enhancing our clients’ experience.

How to apply
Applications must be made using our online form [click here].
Applications close 25 January 2022. Interviews will be held in the week beginning 31 January 2022.
Start date: ASAP.
FAQs
What happens when I graduate?
We hope that you will remain with us for many years; if you are still with us by the time you graduate we would expect our relationship to continue uninterrupted.
What about my holidays?
Consistent with our long-term approach to our relationships we will do our best to accommodate your need to see the world by negotiating extended leave arrangements in appropriate circumstances.
Will my career prospects be adversely affected if I delay completion of my degree?
As a cadet lawyer under our supervision you are able to undertake virtually all of the duties of an admitted lawyer except appearances in open court. The practical experience you will gain working in our professional environment will more than compensate you for the additional time it will take you to graduate.
Can I undertake Internships with other law firms?
Many firms offer students work experience in their offices as a possible prelude to employment. It is a term of your employment contract with us that you don’t engage in any other form of employment and we don’t see such internships as consistent with the positions that we are offering. We know that it’s a tough call when you’ve had little or no industry experience, but we’re looking for people who have weighed the alternatives and worked out what environment is most likely to suit them.

Before you apply
Critically review the above criteria. Is the job for you? Do you have what it takes? Have you discussed it with your partner? Your Dad? Or your dog? Are you prepared to reorganise your life to meet the demands of the position?
Consider your existing study load and how you would restructure it if you take the job. We understand that you have to complete the university units you’ve enrolled in this semester, but you will need to undertake fewer units per semester in the future.

In 2017 one of our members spent the year studying in Beijing and Hong Kong on a New Colombo Plan Scholarship.
What does the job entail?
You will be employed as a legal professional.
You will start your career in our real estate settlements or debt collection (litigation) departments. These area have a high volume of client files and well-established systems for delivering services, which will allow you to quickly learn our procedures and how to use our software, ContactsLaw .
A mentor will monitor your progress and work closely with you to help you develop the skills you need to hit the ground running and operate as an effective member of our team. You will liaise with clients, take charge of and manage your own files from the outset.
We encourage all members of our team to participate in the management of the firm, for example, in marketing activities, software development, systems administration, or document management.
The practical skills that you acquire should kick-start your career in law and place you well ahead of your peers professionally by the time that they graduate.
What we offer
You will be employed on a permanent basis subject to a six month probation period. We are looking for long-term employees, and several of our currently-employed lawyers began working with us through this program.
You will be paid at the Legal Services Award rate, plus superannuation. You will be entitled to annual leave and paid sick leave. You will be entitled to an average of 13 hours per week study leave during university semesters.
Your performance and remuneration will be formally reviewed annually. We will pay you according to the value of your ability and contribution rather than your level of qualifications or years of experience.
What we’re looking for
To be considered for these positions you will:
be enrolled in a law course at a local university;
have a strong ATAR, (or TER/TEE) score and above average university grades;
be committed to a professional career as a lawyer in the private sector;
be sufficiently self-disciplined to balance the competing demands of a responsible job, university studies and a personal life;
keenly embrace technology as a means of enhancing the delivery of legal services;
be a leader and a team player; and
have a sense of humour.
You must be prepared to work an average of 25 hours per week during university semesters (although there is scope for flexibility depending on exam schedules etc) and full-time during university holidays; and to reduce the level of your university commitments accordingly. It will take longer to complete your degree as a result, but the work you do with us will equip you with valuable practical and knowledge and skills. Our cadets’ university marks tend to improve over time as their experience at work overlaps with their studies .
You will benefit from our experience in helping cadets manage their work and study loads; however it requires considerable self-discipline on your part (eg studying on the weekends!). Our cadetships are demanding jobs that require a serious investment of time and energy.
A different kind of law firm
Although we have been in business for over 40 years, we strive to lead as a digital law firm and have embraced the NewLaw business model. As part of this revolution, you will participate in enhancing our clients’ experience.

FAQs
What happens when I graduate?
We hope that you will remain with us for many years; if you are still with us by the time you graduate we would expect our relationship to continue uninterrupted.
What about my holidays?
Consistent with our long-term approach to our relationships we will do our best to accommodate your need to see the world by negotiating extended leave arrangements in appropriate circumstances.
Will my career prospects be adversely affected if I delay completion of my degree?
As a cadet lawyer under our supervision you are able to undertake virtually all of the duties of an admitted lawyer except appearances in open court. The practical experience you will gain working in our professional environment will more than compensate you for the additional time it will take you to graduate.
Can I undertake Internships with other law firms?
Many firms offer students work experience in their offices as a possible prelude to employment. It is a term of your employment contract with us that you don’t engage in any other form of employment and we don’t see such internships as consistent with the positions that we are offering. We know that it’s a tough call when you’ve had little or no industry experience, but we’re looking for people who have weighed the alternatives and worked out what environment is most likely to suit them.

Before you apply
Critically review the above criteria. Is the job for you? Do you have what it takes? Have you discussed it with your partner? Your Dad? Or your dog? Are you prepared to reorganise your life to meet the demands of the position?
Consider your existing study load and how you would restructure it if you take the job. We understand that you have to complete the university units you’ve enrolled in this semester, but you will need to undertake fewer units per semester in the future.
