Celebrate your independent spirit
invest in unique international experiences to help our lawyers grow their skills, cultural understanding and relationships worldwide from an early stage in their career. Each year, between 10 and 15 lawyers spend from three to 12 months working in one of our global network law firms. This provides an exciting professional experience for Corrs’ best lawyers so that they can immerse themselves in a different culture while gaining international experience and developing valuable relationships. Secondments are arranged in a number of exciting jurisdictions, including the US, UK and Asia. Currently Corrs lawyers are posted in London, New York, Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid, Tokyo, Milan, Dusseldorf, Stockholm, Jakarta and more. Secondments are also a great way to develop our junior lawyers and provide them with hands on experience. We give our graduates the opportunity to be seconded to Justice Connect for one of their three rotations. This is a great way for them to develop their skills and give back to the community.

We have in place a policy, tools, technology and case studies that support and promote flexible working.
