Insight Program 2027 - Melbourne

Location: Melbourne

Mallesons Insight Program

The Mallesons Insight Program is open to pre-penultimate law students, giving you the opportunity to gain skills, confidence and knowledge into life at Mallesons.

What you'll learn

The program consists of 3 sessions

Session 1 – Panel discussion (virtual) – March 2027. We will cover how Mallesons is structured and the areas of law we practice in.

Session 2 - Mallesons in Practice (in-person) - date dependent on location. This is a chance to meet some of our partners and junior lawyers to hear about their experiences as legal professionals.

Session 3 - Clerkship application insights and tips (in-person) - date dependent on location. We will provide an exclusive insight into the clerkship recruitment process.

Total time commitment would be roughly 6 hours across 3 sessions.

Upon completion of the Insight Program, you will have gained a solid understanding of a top-tier commercial law firm and exclusive insight into the recruitment process to help you feel prepared and confident when applying for clerkship positions the following year.

Together we Learn. Together we Master. Together we Lead.
