A brilliant week-long learning and immersion experience!
We take on approximately 10 Winter Clerks each year across our Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch offices.
It’s a great opportunity to experience life at Chapman Tripp and figure out if working in a corporate law firm is for you. At the end of the programme, our 2022 Winter Clerks may be invited back to join our 2023/2024 Summer Clerk programme.
Over the course of the week-long programme, our Winter Clerks undertake real work, participate in training sessions, enjoy social events such as sports events, volunteering and lunches, and get a feel for our firm. Our Winter Clerks are teamed up with a buddy and a supervisor to make sure they have all the support they need. And if you’re out-of-town, we’ll fly you to one of our offices and cover your accommodation for the week!
