Working with us
Summer Clerkship Program 2024/25
We offer the opportunity to be involved in a dynamic legal practice working on high profile and complex litigation and insolvency matters. Working with us you will be guided by technical experts and committed legal professionals.
We have removed the hierarchical and more traditional constraints that restrict development and growth in larger firms and replaced them with a fluid and flexible merit-based program. Outstanding lawyers will progress rapidly.
This is an exciting opportunity for motivated, ambitious and responsible lawyers to develop their professional knowledge and skills whilst working at a market-leading firm offering a multidisciplinary approach to legal problems.
Are you ready to join our dynamic team?
We prefer to hear from you directly. Please submit your resume and transcript via email to info@bantongroup.com
Our Summer Clerkship Program lets ambitious law students experience working in one of Sydney’s leading disputes teams on some of Australia’s largest and most complex litigations. The flat structure of our Firm means that you will get direct, real, exposure to senior lawyers from the first day of your clerkship.
The Clerkship
Banton Group offers two intakes of clerks each year, one in December and one in February. Each clerkship intake runs for four weeks.
Because our team works together as one large practice, there are no rotations. Instead, you will generally receive work from all Partners (and their teams) in the Firm over the course of the clerkship. You will have a lawyer buddy, and a senior lawyer mentor, to guide you through your clerkship and ensure that you are fully supported.
Our clerkship offers a genuine insight into what it’s like to work at Banton Group as a Graduate and Associate, and many of our clerks have gone on to successfully obtain those roles in the Firm. The focus is on real learning on real work for our varied and complex matters, but there are also chances for socialising with the team outside of the office context at Firm events.
Process for applying
To apply for our 2024/25 Summer Clerkship Program, please send your cover letter, CV and academic transcript to info@bantongroup.com.
Application’s closed on Sunday 14th of July 2024.
