Trainee Lawyer Program
Maurice Blackburn's Trainee Lawyer Program is designed to
combine your formal training with invaluable hands-on experience.
The program provides a wide range of training aimed at
familiarising you with all aspects of plaintiff law.
The program encourages active participation and contribution,
enabling you to be rewarded with excellent training opportunities,
tangible professional development, and a real sense of
accomplishment.
Most trainee lawyers can expect to spend one rotation in a
suburban or regional office, and one rotation in the city
office.
