Your pathway to a career in Australia's largest insurance, dispute resolution + risk management legal business. Missed out on a clerkship?
Don't worry, we've got your back!
About us W+K is an international law firm specialising in insurance, risk management and dispute resolution.
We work with the world's largest insurers and re-insurers in the global insurance markets, and many of Australia and New Zealand's largest blue-chip corporates, managing large under deductible insurance programs or self-insuring their business risks.
But we don't just act for market giants.
We also act for individual directors and officers, corporations and organisations facing reputational and other significant risks.
Our "Main Game" involves helping businesses, organisations, and individuals when outcomes are uncertain, and reputations, business viability and people's wellbeing can be at stake.
We do everything possible to achieve the best possible outcome, minimise uncertainty and angst for everyone involved and keep insured's relationships with their insurers intact.
It's phenomenally interesting work.
Pathways Program 2025 We don't do clerkships.
Nobody wants to spend three months of their summer holed away doing discovery!

No point considering us if that's not in your plan.
We aim to be the best and to help every lawyer become their best.
That means you need to want that too.
The pathway to becoming the best takes endless curiosity, a commitment to being a life-long learner and to being the type of person clients, colleagues and peers know they can trust.
