Job Satisfaction at Hall & Wilcox

As a law graduate this heavily depends on which rotation you are in. Some practice areas are busier than others

I work in a mostly supportive role on complex legal matters. I am entrusted with drafting important court documents and correspondence, conducting research and preparing evidence.

Drafting and amending emails, internal documents and court documents. Research into specific areas of law related to disputes.

Differs depending on the area - my current team has a few more juniors than most teams so it's not as easy to get work. A lot of research, letter drafting, some court drafting, and random tasks.

I complete a lot of medical chronologies which can be hard to focus on however, I appreciate the skills I learn from doing it. I enjoy the analytical side of my job such as finding inconsistencies in a Claimant's reporting. I also draft letters and correspond with varies participants in a matter.

Due to previous work experience, I have some level of understanding of the work done by my team. Because of that, most of my work is actively working on files under the supervision of my supervising partner, my supervising partner. A day for me will probably involve writing a letter of advice, reviewing medical evidence in preparation for a trial, or instructing counsel at Court. I have a lot of independence in the work I do, but I feel very supported by my supervising partner in doing so.

Preparing draft correspondence and advice for settling. Legal research and drafting memorandums.

Research, document review, drafting correspondence, making phone calls, attending court with lawyers

No two days are the same, but I will often assist with drafting advices, correspondence, liaising with the court, file management, the list goes on.

Research task, managing MV matters, completely tasks

Varies. Attending court and operating the video footage, reviewing documents, managing a small number of small files.

Law graduate in general insurance. I was a paralegal in GI for 2.5 years prior to being a graduate. I was told that rotating through GI would be different to what I was doing as a paralegal however, this hasn't been the case, I've inherited a number of my old motor vehicle/property files and am getting little exposure to personal injury/professional indemnity which is an area of particular interest for me. I want to learn new things throughout my rotation so I am trying to settle as many old matters as possible so I have capacity for PI work.

In my prior team it was very hands on which I enjoyed, and I was able to draft advice for clients and conduct legal research. In my current team there seems to be minimal work that the grads are involved in. However, most of the work I have been involved in has been legal research and some document management.

I am a Law Graduate rotating through the Corporate and Commercial team. I am involved in a few ongoing matters under the supervision of a Partner, where I am required to attend frequent client meetings, file note, perform file management, and make amendments to various documents e.g. deeds and agreements. Throughout the day, I also undertake research tasks on niche areas of law, perform public registry searches and other smaller tasks.

I've had the benefit of drafting advices, letters and appearing in court regularly.
