2023 Graduate Position – Supervised Legal Traineeship null

We are looking for two graduates who want to commence their career in February 2023 as part of our values-driven, friendly and collegiate team. 

You will be mentored by accredited specialists and award-winning Practice Leaders, who are keen to invest in your growth and development. 

The Moores Graduate Traineeship is 12 months in length, comprising three rotations in areas that may include; Property & Construction, Disputes, Estate Planning, Workplace Relations and Corporate Advisory. During each rotation you will have regular meetings with your supervisor and the support of an assigned ‘buddy,’ usually a junior lawyer, assisting in your transition.

The structured full-time graduate program is designed to provide you with feedback, training and coaching in the core disciplines during each rotation. Due to our values-driven culture, you will have an opportunity to undertake meaningful work with clients, under the supported supervision of Practice Leaders and team members.

In addition to Supervised Legal Training (SLT), Moores will fund the required Practical Legal Training (PLT) component. This will be facilitated by an approved PLT provider such as Leo Cussen, designed to support your on-the-job training and build your legal and commercial knowledge.

The Moores Graduate Traineeship provides you with the opportunity to maximise your skills and potential to become a well-rounded lawyer of the future.

• We pride ourselves on being professional, but we don’t wear suits unless we have to.
• We value work-life balance, so we focus on working smarter.
• We have a strong commitment to pro bono and social impact – we delivered pro bono resources to support over 10,000 NFPs in 2020 alone.
• We focus on working with purpose-aligned clients to deliver great outcomes that benefit the community.
• We keep it real - we’re a down-to-earth bunch who listen and are open with each other. We don’t take ourselves too seriously.
• We do it with heart - people are the heart of Moores. We like and care about each other, and are proud of the culture we’ve created.

Other benefits of joining our team include:

• Opportunities to work on multi-disciplinary teams on the firm’s approach to innovation, technology, talent and value pricing.
