Share
Australia’s leading law firms have reduced their graduate intake for 2021 after a year in which some trainees spent their first six months on the job without meeting a co-worker.
Only Allens and Norton Rose Fulbright reported any significant increase as most of the top dozen firms by size in The Australian Financial Review Law Partnership Survey either kept numbers steady or reported slight falls.

Big six firms King & Wood Mallesons and Ashurst each reported eight fewer graduates for next year, making them largely responsible for the total falling from 727 to 718.
