Summer Clerkships

Each year, we offer summer clerkships across our three offices.

Our 12-week Summer Clerk Programme is designed to give you truly valuable, hands-on experience. You’ll do real work for real clients, alongside lawyers who are invested in your development. By the end of the programme, you’ll emerge more confident, more knowledgeable, and better equipped for the next stage of your legal career.

We recruit for summer clerks during a dedicated recruitment period each year. While we’re interested in your academic performance, we’re equally interested in you as a person, your passions, your goals, and the mark you want to leave on the world as a lawyer of tomorrow.

Graduate Opportunities

Wynn Williams places real value on the knowledge and experience you build throughout your time at university.

Our priority is to support you to continue developing your skills and experience alongside lawyers who have spent their entire careers curating theirs. Graduate opportunities are advertised throughout the year, and we welcome expressions of interest from students who would like to be considered when roles become available.

While we don’t currently have any law clerk roles open, we encourage you to register your interest below to stay informed about upcoming opportunities.
