The posting

Let your journey begin with us

At Clayton Utz, we’re proud to support and strengthen the representation of First Nations peoples within the legal landscape. Our commitment to First Nations employment is central to our approach to becoming a more inclusive and diverse firm. That's why we’re focused on creating new pathways and building a workplace where you can feel a genuine sense of belonging and are empowered to shape your career with confidence.

Our commitment to creating lasting opportunities for First Nations peoples also underpins our broader Reconciliation journey. Since launching our first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in 2010, and through our current Stretch RAP, we’ve set clear targets to make a meaningful difference for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Guided by our RAP Working Group and an external First Nations Adviser, we take action through our pro bono work, community partnerships, procurement practices, and the Clayton Utz Foundation to help create lasting, positive impact.

It’s a valuable opportunity to gain hands-on experience at one of Australia’s leading law firms and take your first step towards a successful and rewarding career.

You have the opportunity to join a traineeship in one the following programs at our offices in Warrane (Sydney), Naarm (Melbourne), Meanjin (Brisbane), Boorloo (Perth), and Ngambri (Canberra).

The traineeship lasts for 12 months, where you will have the chance to complete two 6-month rotations in different Legal teams.

  • Contribute to meaningful work across client matters and firm initiatives, including supporting our Pro Bono practice.
  • Benefit from learning and development opportunities to strengthen your skills and support your growth.
  • Contribute to community initiatives through our Community Connect program, where you’ll engage in meaningful volunteering experiences.
  • Expand your professional network by joining a range of social and firm-led initiatives.

  • First Nations Adviser: A trusted adviser who understands your background and will help you navigate your career with confidence.
  • Dedicated Mentor: A mentor who will provide guidance, help you set and achieve your personal and professional goals, and support your development.
  • Inclusive Team Environment: You’ll work with a team that values inclusivity and has undertaken cultural awareness and allyship training to ensure a supportive workplace.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
