SUPERVISED WORKPLACE TRAINING PROGRAM (TRAINEESHIPS)

Nowicki Carbone is committed to our Traineeship Program, recognising that it is the beginning of a law graduates career.

We offer our Trainee Lawyers a unique and valuable experience, unique in the sense that we believe that our trainees should be given responsibility over files from a very early stage. Our program provides a trainee with a true insight into the life a lawyer. We offer a hands on approach, allowing our trainees the opportunity to manage cases from the beginning through until trial, and gain practical experience in dealing with clients and drafting documents. We do not believe in sheltering our trainees from making actual decisions, subject to supervision.

Although given early responsibility, the firm encourages other lawyers to act as mentors to a trainee. While a senior lawyer will act as a mentor to a trainee, other lawyers are available and interact daily with each trainee. This level of interaction with partners and lawyers is a hallmark of the hands-on training and team-oriented approach at Nowicki Carbone. Trainees will work closely alongside our experienced lawyers to gain practical and valuable insight into legal practice.

Each trainee will participate in 3 x 4 month rotation within our core practice areas, Workers Compensation, TAC, Superannuation & Insurance. At the conclusion of their traineeship they will have a greater appreciation of the work undertaken within the firm.

It is the best of both worlds, whereby trainees make autonomous decisions, but can also trust in the natural processes of the firm as everything is reviewed by the whole team. Our Supervised Workplace Training program involves communication with not just the Partners and the entire team but also with the clients themselves, providing full exposure to the firm's plaintiff clients from the start to the end.

'They can progress as far as they want to progress. The trainees are encouraged to use initiative and their development depends a lot on themselves' Tony Carbone, Managing Partner.

As a trainee at Nowicki Carbone the experiences you will gain are both rewarding and career breaking. We recognise the integral contribution trainees make to our firm's current and future success.
