Prosple Profiles

As a junior lawyer in the Corporate Transactions team, I have the responsibility of drafting a variety of transaction, ASX, ASIC, and FIRB documents, as well as undertaking legal research and due diligence.

CU people take their work seriously, but not themselves. This creates an excellent learning environment and enables you to be yourself at work. 

The work I have been given so far has not been limited to tasks that my team knows I can complete, but rather tasks that consistently push me out of my comfort zone.

The firm's collaborative and cohesive work culture is the ideal environment for me to develop professionally, knowing that I can seek support from my colleagues when work or life becomes challenging.

The aspect of my job I love the most is the teamwork it involves. Each matter often requires input from various practice groups, meaning you are always working with and learning from different people.

Starting on small tasks as a junior lawyer can help to build up your commercial knowledge and confidence in your area of expertise, getting you prepared to take on more responsibility within the team.

Every day on the job is different and you're constantly being exposed to new things, which means that I'm given genuine and meaningful learning opportunities. 

Junior lawyers are allocated files to work on with a partner and are in charge of running the matter to settlement... It is an excellent way to develop strong advice writing skills and learn strategies to settle matters.
