Buddle Findlay is all about collaboration and that's not only within your own team, but expands to collaborating with other teams especially when dealing with complicated and multi-faceted transactions. Buddle Findlay also has several social events such as the annual ball, Friday drinks and several kōreros over lunch. I also catch up with my fellow law clerks after work from time to time. In terms of structure and hierarchy you can start off as a summer clerk, come back after you graduate as a law clerk, become a solicitor once you are admitted, then senior solicitor then senior associate, special counsel and then there are partner and consultant levels. A senior associate or partner will often be your supervisor as a law clerk or solicitor but you will often get a lot of help and guidance from the junior lawyers as well!
