Genesis Legal Partners – Legal Graduate Training Program Your PLT may only take 15 days. Your development shouldn't. We don't just want you to complete your PLT. We want to help you become a solicitor. The transition from law school to legal practice can be challenging. A graduate can complete their degree and practical legal training while having had relatively limited exposure to the day-to-day realities of working in a law firm.

At Genesis Legal

Partners, we believe there should be a better pathway. We are looking for motivated law graduates who want to develop genuine practical experience, build confidence and learn what it takes to become a capable solicitor.

Our Approach Is Simple

Give you the opportunity. Train you properly. Give you increasing responsibility. Assess your development. And, for the right person, build a long-term career together. This is more than a PLT placement.

It is a career pathway. THE PATHWAY PLT Placement ↓ 6-Month Paid Graduate Legal Training Program ↓ Ongoing Training & Development ↓ Full-Time Graduate / Junior Solicitor ↓ Long-Term Career Development Your PLT placement is the starting point. For candidates who demonstrate the right ability, attitude, work ethic and cultural fit, there is an opportunity to continue into our 6-month paid Graduate Legal Training Program.

The program is designed to bridge the gap between law school and real legal practice, while giving both you and the firm the chance to determine whether there is a long-term fit. Candidates who successfully demonstrate the required standard throughout the program may be offered a full-time Graduate / Junior Solicitor position. What You'll Learn We don't expect you to arrive as an experienced solicitor.

That's What We're Here To Help You Become. Throughout the program, you will receive practical training, supervision and regular feedback while progressively developing your ability to: Conduct legal research and analyse legal issues

Draft professional correspondence and legal documents

Communicate effectively with clients

Manage legal files and matters

Understand legal processes and procedures

Manage competing deadlines and priorities

Identify issues and develop practical solutions

Exercise professional judgment

Work independently while knowing when to seek guidance

Take increasing responsibility for client matters

Understand how a professional legal practice operates As your skills and confidence develop, so will your level of responsibility. AREAS OF PRACTICE Depending on your interests, capabilities and the needs of the firm, you may gain practical exposure to: Family Law

Property & Conveyancing

Commercial & Corporate Law

Tax Law

Legal research and analysis

Drafting contracts, correspondence and legal documents

Client communication and meetings

Property transactions and settlements

Matter and file management

Liaising with clients, solicitors,



agents and other professionals You will have the opportunity to experience how legal work is actually performed — not simply observe from the sidelines.

Who We Are Looking For We are not necessarily looking for the candidate with the longest resume. We are looking for someone worth investing in.

You May

Be a Strong Fit If You Are Intelligent, analytical and curious A strong written and verbal communicator

Highly organised and attentive to detail

Reliable and punctual

Professional and confident when dealing with people

Comfortable managing competing priorities

Willing to take responsibility for your work

Serious about building a long-term career in legal practice Previous legal experience is beneficial, but we place significant value on attitude, work ethic, potential and the ability to learn. We can teach you the practical aspects of legal practice. We cannot teach you to care about the quality of your work. THIS OPPORTUNITY IS NOT FOR EVERYONE If your primary objective is simply to complete your minimum PLT requirements and move on, this probably isn't the opportunity for you.

We Are Looking For People Who

Want To Learn. Improve. Take responsibility. Build a career. The program involves genuine work, increasing expectations, regular feedback and accountability. We would rather invest our time in developing one excellent future solicitor than simply fill a PLT placement.

What We Expect From You Professionalism

Treat clients, colleagues and other professionals with respect and maintain a high professional standard.

Accountability

Take ownership of your work, your deadlines and your mistakes.

Initiative

Don't simply wait for instructions. Learn to identify what needs to be done and take appropriate action. Attention to Detail Legal work requires accuracy. Small mistakes can have significant consequences. Responsiveness to Feedback You will receive feedback throughout the program. We expect you to listen, learn and apply it.

Work Ethic

We are investing significant time and resources into your development. We expect you to invest in yourself as well. A REAL TRAINING PROGRAM This is not an arrangement where you are simply given a desk and expected to work things out yourself. You will receive structured training, supervision and ongoing feedback, with your responsibilities increasing as your capability develops.

The Objective Is To Progressively Move

You From Learning → Assisting → Performing → Taking Responsibility By the end of the program,



our aim is for a successful candidate to have developed the practical skills and confidence expected of a junior solicitor. YOUR POTENTIAL CAREER PATH Our long-term objective is to identify talented graduates early and develop them within the firm.

The Potential Pathway

Is PLT Student ↓ Graduate Legal Trainee ↓ Graduate / Junior Solicitor ↓ Developing Solicitor ↓ Experienced Solicitor The 6-month Graduate Legal Training Program is both a development and assessment pathway. Completion of the program does not automatically guarantee a permanent position. Candidates who demonstrate the required legal capability, professionalism, work ethic, performance, client service and cultural fit may be offered ongoing employment as a Graduate / Junior Solicitor.

OUR SELECTION PROCESS We are serious about finding the right people, so our selection process goes beyond simply reviewing a CV. Shortlisted candidates may be asked to complete a practical written assessment and attend an interview.

We Want To Understand How You

Think

Write

Analyse information

Solve problems

Prioritise competing tasks

Respond to feedback

Communicate with others Your academic results matter, but they are not the only thing we look at. We want to see the person behind the resume.
