Careers

As you approach the end of your legal studies it can often be difficult to decide which area of practice is for you, and in which direction you should be driving your career.

‍

The two-week seasonal clerkship program at Duffy & Simon Lawyers gives you the opportunity to explore your interests and get a feel for what it would be like to become part of the team at Duffy & Simon Lawyers after you graduate.

‍

To be eligible to apply for our seasonal clerkship a student must be in their final or penultimate year of study, that is, they intend to commence their final semester in 2027. Students who have already completed their law degree are eligible to apply; however, applications will be accepted at our discretion.
