Seasonal Clerkships

Clerkships are for 2 weeks with multiple intakes over Summer and Winter. We provide Vacation Clerks with a hands-on experience where they will get to work closely with our highly experienced team of corporate lawyers on active matters from day one.

The aim of the clerkship program is to provide a genuine insight into what life at Steinepreis Paganin is about and the nature of corporate work.

Vacation Clerks are each allocated a buddy and mentor and provided with initial training and induction to ensure that they know how to go about things, who to go to for support and how to access work.
