Vacation clerkships
Find out if White & Case is the right fit for you.
A vacation clerkship is a great way to experience first-hand what life is like as a graduate at White & Case.
As a part of our four-week vacation clerkship in either our Melbourne or Sydney office, you’ll be welcomed into our team, where you’ll undertake a number of meaningful and challenging tasks.
You’ll have the opportunity to attend client meetings, work on pro bono matters, and broaden your understanding of large cross-border transactions and matters. Wherever your career takes you, we guarantee that you’ll build skills and experience that will last.
Throughout the clerkship, you will:
- Learn about the Firm and our practice areas in Australia and the wider Asia-Pacific region
- Discover our graduate program, including our overseas seat opportunities
- Join in social events, network and get to know our people
- Do real client work: draft memorandums; write client alerts; research areas of the law; and attend meetings or court hearings, for example
- Learn about different practice areas and deepen your knowledge of the law
- Have continual support and feedback through your allocated supervisor, mentor and buddy
