What our previous seasonal clerks say:
The rotations Harwood Andrews offers to seasonal clerks enabled me during my seasonal clerkship to experience a broad range of legal work and to get a feel for the practice area which I most enjoyed. Most importantly, because I had the opportunity to work with and meet everybody at Harwood Andrews during my seasonal clerkship I knew when I accepted a traineeship offer from Harwood Andrews that the work environment was one in which I would enjoy working. Harwood Andrews has given me during my seasonal clerkship, and subsequently, the opportunity to undertake challenging work in a positive, supportive and friendly work environment.

Completing a seasonal clerkship at Harwood Andrews Lawyers provided an invaluable insight into working at a leading law firm. As a seasonal clerk, I obtained experience in a broad range of practice areas and was given a wide variety of challenging tasks. It also enabled me to recognise that Harwood Andrews Lawyers provides a first-class environment for law students to make a successful transition into the workplace. Following completion of a seasonal clerkship I was fortunate to be offered a traineeship position for 2011, and I am excited about the opportunity I have to excel as a lawyer at a friendly, supportive and professional firm.
