The world is constantly changing. Keeping up to date with the latest business practices, whether it be the latest legal, technological or social changes, is vital to our ability to support our people and our clients.
We seek to ensure we are at the forefront of all change, and able to flex and adapt to the current environment. This means upskilling and developing all our people.
Legal development
We recognise there is more to being a successful lawyer than just knowing the law. When we plan our legal development programme, we listen to our lawyers, our clients and our summer interns from previous years. Our leadership modules complement your time in the departments and will focus on the following skills:
Leadership skills
If you work with the best, you become the best. To develop your leadership skills, we get some of the firm's friends from the business world, from academia, and from New Zealand's best sporting teams to help you explore how to become a great leader.
Commercial skills
To develop your commercial skills, we take you out to meet our clients so you can hear about their business first-hand. We follow this up with in-house business training.
Personal skills
We will help you develop your personal skills, including interpersonal communication, time management, and how to work effectively in a high performing team.
