Paralegals
Work with us as a paralegal while you complete your degree. We employ approximately 50 paralegals, many of whom successfully apply for our graduate solicitor program, and continue their legal career with us.
Graduate Solicitors
Join the CSO's two-year graduate program. From day one, you'll contribute to client and file management, and be exposed to unique and complex legal issues that will challenge your thinking.
"Since commencing the CSO's Graduate Solicitor program I have worked with barristers, including Senior Counsel, on precedent-setting litigation; attended mediations and settlement conferences; and provided advice to clients in both litigated and non-litigated matters. The work I have done is unique, varied and challenging." Yvette Edgell, Graduate Solicitor
