Job Satisfaction at Russell McVeagh

Research, drafting, file management.

I'm appreciating everything that I'm learning currently - with the recognition that this is one from a list of many things I'd like to achieve in my career.

Generally, my role involves graduate-level work - researching specific points of law, drafting letters and documents, reading and sorting/collating large amounts of materials.

Since I am so new, I am currently typically given smaller tasks, but I am always given the context of larger matter that I am contributing to.

In a graduate role, responsible for drafting legal submissions, Court documents and other applications, case law research, responding to client emails, reviewing documents, drafting updates on new policy and providing support with any other tasks.

Lots of administrative tasks as it is early days in my career, such as editing documents, copy checks, drafting legal sign offs, opening matters etc. However, I have been involved in more drafting, both legal documents and emails, in recent weeks.

I prepare template documents for clients, undertake pieces of research, do companies searches, undertake due diligence for M&A, do pieces of business development eg contributing towards articles.
