We invest directly in our formal junior development programs to support clerks and graduates through structured training, direct mentorship and hands-on client exposure. The environment is collegiate and the development is genuine.

You will work alongside practitioners at every level and be given responsibility that grows as your capability does.

The skills and judgement you will develop are valuable. The relationships you build are, too.

Clerkships

Clerks join practice groups as integrated team members from day one. The program is a genuine introduction to legal practice at Thomsons: the work, the culture and the standards.

Submit your application during the open application period for your state on our Current Opportunties page. Successful applicants will be invited to an online video interview, followed by a Partner interview.

Those who progress to the next stage will receive an invitation to an information evening and networking event, where you can connect with Partners and gain firsthand insight into life at Thomsons.

Graduates

We offer structured Graduate programs in each of our offices which give Graduates the opportunity to rotate across practice groups, developing technical depth alongside in-house training and direct client exposure.

The programs are designed to produce lawyers who can think independently and act with confidence, not just complete tasks under instruction.

You will find the work challenging and the team invested in your development.
