Please comment on your role and day-to-day responsibilities.
In the litigation team I work on large, high-profile class actions alongside a few smaller litigious and advisory matters and pro bono files. My day-to-day involves research, drafting court documents and correspondence, document review (discovery), liaising with barristers, instructing paralegals and attending internal meetings. The level of responsibility I'm given depends very much on the supervising senior associate/partner and the size of the matter/team.

Graduate, Melbourne
My day-to-day role and responsibilities is varied - there is an element of work flow delegated to me, and also opportunities to volunteer to get involved in different aspects of my immediate practice group as well as the work of the broader firm. There would be a mix of face to face and online meetings with clients and colleagues, drafting advices (on word, PPT or email), researching new principles, standards or frameworks that apply to my practice area. As well as my team, I also find myself working with colleagues outside of my practice group on most of my matters which is a good relationship building opportunity.
