YOUR PASSION YOUR CAREER OUR FIRM As a prospective clerk it can be a difficult process figuring out which firm is right for you. During the application process my approach was to speak with as many people as I could to hear their experiences. I was naturally drawn towards Minter Ellison. The picture painted by everyone I spoke to from the firm was of a vibrant, supportive workplace that creates opportunities for young lawyers. After doing the clerkship and working as a paralegal, for me that picture has been vividly true to life. Testament to that would have to be my experience in the Hong Kong office. I was chosen to spend two weeks there in January. The trip was a great opportunity for me to see first hand what it’s like to work in a foreign jurisdiction, and the benefits that flow to the firm from its strong regional presence. I also got to put my tourist hat on – I had a lot of fun exploring the city, with its unique blend of cultures and delicious food. Above all, the trip gave me confidence that the firm is committed to investing in my career.
