Corrs Chambers Westgarth is Australia’s leading independent law firm. We provide exceptional legal services across the full spectrum of matters, including major transactions, projects and significant disputes, offering strategic advice on our clients’ most challenging issues.
With more than 175 years of history and a talented and diverse team of over 1000 people, we pride ourselves on our client-focused approach and commitment to excellence. Our fundamental ambition is the success of our clients, and this is reflected in everything we do.
We advise on the most significant global matters and connect with the best lawyers internationally to provide our clients with the right team for every engagement.
We act for a wide range of clients including large corporations, governments, banks and financial sponsors, advising on major transactions, significant disputes and challenging legal issues. Our clients include more than half of the top fifty ASX-listed companies, some of the largest privately owned companies in Australia and a number of global Fortune five hundred companies including Amazon, EBay, Google, Johnson & Johnson, McDonalds, and Wesfarmers.
We are the firm of choice for many of the world’s leading organisations, with our people consistently recognised for providing outstanding client service and delivering exceptional results.
At Corrs, our culture is defined by excellence, collaboration, commitment and respect.
Our success is based on the success of our people. We encourage individuals to play to their strengths. And we bring our diverse and talented lawyers together to create top-performing teams.
The combination of these factors creates a firm that celebrates its independence, is open to new ideas, has the courage to think and act differently from the rest of the market, and thrives on new challenges and opportunities.
Our commitment to providing our people with the opportunity to build successful careers has made us a much sought-after employer. For almost 15 years, we’ve been recognised as an Employer of Choice by the WGEA Employer of Choice for Gender Equality citation (replacing the EOWA Employer of Choice for Women award in 2014).
We take our work seriously but we also recognise the importance of looking after ourselves and having fun. We encourage staff to be socially active and participate in social and sporting events as well as learning and development activities.
Our success relies upon attracting, retaining and providing development opportunities to talented people with diverse ideas, backgrounds and experiences. We want everyone to feel connected, valued and supported, so that every individual can succeed and can contribute to our firm and client success.
We believe that diversity in all its forms should be embraced and celebrated. This benefits our people, our clients, our firm and the industry at large. We have a strong and ongoing commitment to LGBTIQ+ inclusion among our people, our clients and the broader community.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan aims to develop and deepen mutual respect, form meaningful relationships and create opportunities with and for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) peoples.

It’s not all about work! We encourage staff to be socially active and participate in social and sporting events as well as learning and development activities.
Some of our activities include mixed netball, pilates and yoga, touch football, cricket day, Friday night drinks, family days, trivia nights, End of Financial Year party and Christmas Party. Corrs also provides flexible work arrangements, paid study leave, salary sacrificing and opportunities to give back to the community. We also provide staff with an additional week of bonus leave and we have lower daily billable hours targets.
Corrs recognises the importance of health and wellbeing and is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace through a range of programs and policies. Our wellbeing program provides a range of initiatives to assist people in maintaining good overall health.
We look for clerks and graduates who can make a positive contribution to the firm and help us in delivering legal excellence and outstanding client service. In exchange for your energy and commitment we’ll provide extraordinary learning and work opportunities across a range of practice areas and clients.
We value diversity in our teams and are not looking for identical or ‘cookie-cutter’ candidates. We look for well-rounded individuals who can demonstrate exceptional academic performance, evidence of work experience (law or non-law related), as well as experience in leadership positions, volunteering or community service, and other extra-curricular activities.
We also want individuals who bring out the best in those around them, work well in a team, and take pride in their work and achievements.
Corrs’ seasonal clerkship program gives you the opportunity to work alongside some of Australia’s leading lawyers, on high-profile work for major Australian and international clients.
Our clerkships give you the opportunity to connect with partners and lawyers across the firm, learn what a ‘day-in-the-life’ at Corrs is like, and experience the type of work we do and the clients we partner with.
You’ll be exposed to a broad range of interesting matters. You’ll also have the chance to complete a broad range of tasks, such as conducting research, reviewing and presenting documents, attending client meetings, court hearings, mediations and settlements, as well as shadowing partners and lawyers in client meetings and business development activities.
For information on our seasonal clerk programs and specific dates for Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne or Perth, please go to our graduate and seasonal clerk website www.graduates.corrs.com.au/careers/be-exceptional/.
Our graduate development program is your first step towards a successful career. As part of our 18-month program, you will have access to on-the-job training as you work directly with partners and senior lawyers; structured learning; mentoring and regular feedback.
During this time, you’ll complete three six-month rotations through a variety of our practice areas and you’ll also be involved in pro bono opportunities.
The program includes our Graduate Academy – a highlight for our graduates every year. We bring all our graduates together for a multi-day learning experience, giving you the chance to meet with your peers, learn and have fun. You’ll also commence your Practical Legal Training (PLT) studies and local orientation before you dive into the program.
The majority of our graduates are recruited through our clerkship program.
