About us
Australian Government Solicitor (AGS) is the Australian Government’s central legal practice and part of the Attorney-General’s Department. AGS helps Commonwealth clients to manage legal issues, navigate new challenges and find solutions which deliver the best outcomes for Australia. We are a self-funded legal practice and compete for our work.
AGS is unique. AGS is dedicated to the national interest and is a trusted advisor to Government. We deliver expert legal services to Commonwealth clients across a wide range of areas including dispute resolution, commercial law and constitutional and public law. Please visit our AGS home page for further information.
AGS is innovative. Drawing on an exceptional depth of experience and expertise, we assist the Australian Government in the development and implementation of solutions to legal issues that have national importance.
AGS is diverse. With offices in every capital city and a team of 680 staff, including over 470 lawyers, we work in more than 40 different areas of law related to government.
About the role
AGS is looking for casual Law Clerks to work up to 3 days a week in any of our AGS national offices. Three full days would be preferred but alternative arrangements to accommodate university commitments may be negotiated. There may also be work available on an ‘ad hoc’ basis at times when workloads are heavy or other staff are not available.
In this role your tasks will vary day-to-day but may include substantial document review, preparing court documents and briefs to counsel, legal research and general clerical tasks, and undertaking often urgent work in relation to significant government initiatives.
The skills and experience we value include:
- good communication and interpersonal skills
- excellent legal research skills and clear writing skills
- good knowledge of common software applications (e.g. Word, Outlook, Adobe)
- good attention to detail
- initiative and flexibility
- ability to work under pressure and as a member of a team.
You will work with a community of professionals dedicated to the national interest. You will work collaboratively in an inclusive environment where everyone’s contribution is valued, and success is rewarded. We offer our employees commercially competitive remuneration packages, including 15.4% superannuation.
With open door access to some of Australia’s most respected lawyers, we are a developer of talent and critical thinking and you will partner with our clients to deliver creative solutions to current and emerging legal issues of national importance.
AGS is a supportive organisation which embraces diversity. We understand that work is only part of your life and, while our work can be demanding at times, we also provide access to a range of flexible working options, generous leave entitlements and wellbeing benefits to support your needs throughout your career.
