Selection Criteria

We do not seek any particular "type" of individual: rather, we recognize and value the distinct qualities that each individual contributes to our unique culture. We aim to employ highly-motivated individuals with a record of personal achievement and a strong desire for success in their legal career – and we invest significant effort in attracting students with the intention, and the potential, of remaining with us long after their call.

Qualification is determined by many different factors, but we generally favour individuals who demonstrate a balanced approach to their academic, professional and personal lives.

Of course, law school marks factor into our assessment. But, while very low academic standing does cause concern, and very high marks may win a candidate an interview, experience suggests that the great majority of applicants fall within a range of academic standing that shifts the emphasis to the remainder of their application.
