About Allens
Allens is a leading international law firm trusted on some of Australia's most complex and defining matters. For more than 200 years, we've worked alongside clients through critical moments, helping them navigate change, solve complex challenges and shape what's next.
What sets us apart is how we work. We bring together curious, ambitious people who are committed to delivering outcomes that matter. Through our alliance with Linklaters, our teams are connected to a global network spanning 40 offices across 25 countries, creating opportunities to learn, collaborate and build international careers.
At Allens, we believe growth is something you actively shape. We look for people who bring curiosity, initiative and a willingness to learn. In return, we provide meaningful work, real responsibility, clear expectations and the support people need to succeed.
Your role
Our First Nations Legal Internship Program has been running since 2006, providing an opportunity for First Nations law students to find out more about working in a commercial legal environment.
The 2027 program will run from Monday, 1 February to Friday, 19 February 2027 in our Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth offices.
Our internship program is a stepping stone to bigger things – previous interns have gone to secure permanent roles at Allens, other firms, client organisations and elsewhere in the profession. Here is a quick rundown of what you can look forward to:
a personalised induction program that introduces you to our people and the work we do;
joining a practice group to work alongside lawyers on real matters, allowing you to develop your legal skills and gain invaluable insight into what we do and the clients we work for;
a dedicated support network consisting of a partner and junior lawyer, who will act as your performance coach and buddy, and will help support you, make the most of your internship, get to know our people and thrive;
the opportunity to get involved in community and pro bono work, and learn about our committees and interest groups;
hear information on various career pathways in the legal industry, including tips on our clerkship recruitment process and what life is like as a graduate at Allens; and
the chance to build your network and forge mentor relationships with our people.
About you
To be eligible for the program, you will:
Identify as an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person.
Be currently enrolled in a university law degree.
Be keen to learn, develop new skills and gain practical workplace experience.
Enjoy building relationships, expanding your professional network and learning from others through mentoring opportunities.
