Vacation Clerks & Graduates
Vacation clerkships
Our vacation clerkships are held in our Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney offices over the summer and/or winter university breaks. The programs give clerks the unique opportunity to experience our firm, our practice areas and most importantly, our culture. Working as a vacation clerk with the firm can often act as a stepping stone to an ongoing position with the firm as a law clerk or graduate.
"My favourite thing about my clerkship at Barry.Nilsson. was the people. Everybody was incredibly easy to get along with and made my experience so worthwhile"
Jaimee-Lee Holstein, Vacation Clerk January 2017/Graduate 2018
Brisbane clerks undertake a three week clerkship during which they spend one week in each of our three practice areas – insurance & health, property & commercial and family law.
Melbourne clerks experience one of two clerkship programs, one being in defendant insurance and the other being in family law.
Sydney clerks have the opportunity to be exposed to a range of defendant insurance & health matters as well as family law.
Vacation clerk recruitment for 2018 has now been finalised.
If you're interested in being considered for a vacation clerkship with the firm, please see application details below.
