Committed to developing your career…

We take on a small number of trainees each year, and we train them well.

Just as you're looking for the law firm that will give you the best start to your career, we're looking to give you exceptional opportunities to learn, experience and develop.

We also seek trainees who are excited about working for a large international law firm.  Our lawyers find themselves at the cutting edge of global legal practice, and therefore our substantive programmes, classroom-based training and interactive workshops cover all areas of legal knowledge and skills development.  Further, we work closely with our lawyers to continually identify and develop new programming to meet the challenge of our clients' ever-changing business needs.  We will offer you all the encouragement, challenge and support you'll need to tackle work with complex and sophisticated clients in progressive international teams that will give you opportunities to excel.

At the same time, we want our trainees to enjoy working for K&L Gates, to experience an excellent work/life balance and to participate in community, social and sporting activities both within and outside the office.

Diversity at K&L Gates…

For us diversity is more than statistics. It is about bringing people together to create a positive and dynamic working environment. Different perspectives, ideas and experiences are essential in a creative and progressive law firm.

K&L Gates is committed to diversity.  As a result we have a vibrant organisational culture. We actively encourage all staff to participate in the firm's various diversity initiatives and are always open to new and creative suggestions as to how we can continue to promote diversity in the future.

Your individuality is what makes us unique.
