Holland Beckett Law, in conjunction with Pukeroa Oruawhata Group, introduced a summer clerk programme in 2022 for students who whakapapa to one of the 6 koromatua of Ngāti Whakaue.
This is a great opportunity for law students who are in their last two years of study to work in one of the Bay of Plenty’s top law firms alongside some of the Bays’ best solicitors.
Our Ngāti Whakaue Internship Programme will run at the same time as our annual summer clerk programme over the university summer holidays.

Our aim is for each of our interns to have a great summer, get to know our firm, our people and our culture and values.

Reviews
I really enjoy the aspect of going to court and learning lots of new things.
I feel that I am given opportunities which challenge me but that I am surrounded by a lot of support. This makes my work interesting and I feel that I am always learning and developing my skills.
I love the corporate work I do and find it really interesting. I also feel like I am doing a good job which gives me confidence and appreciate the feedback I receive. I don't feel stressed or overworked/overwhelmed but still feel challenged and am learning more with every task I do. It's the perfect balance!
