Pros and cons of working at Ashurst AU
Pros
Being able to work with a range of prestigious, exciting and complex clients; ability to rotate across a number practice groups to sample experience from across the firm; strong investment in my development as a graduate lawyer from day 1.
Strong graduate training curriculum and a very supportive culture.
The inclusive, diverse and friendly work environment.
High level of administrative and other support, outstanding training opportunities, exposure to a wide-range of work and clients.
Ashurst offers extensive support for the professional development of their staff. My colleagues are highly skilled yet down to earth. I value these qualities in my employer and fellow employees.
Cons
Sometimes deadlines are very tight resulting in long hours.
The coffee in the staff kitchen!
The greatest challenges are finding your way in a large team and a global firm. However, many opportunities to develop these skills -that the hours can be demanding.
As a large firm, it is difficult to get to know everyone who works in your office. However, as you rotate through three different practice groups graduate, you are placed in a position where you can meet your fellow colleagues gradually.
At times, the hours can be long and the deadlines are real, which can be a lot of pressure if that's not the sort of environment you're used to.
