Reviews
Drafting advices, researching, compiling information
As a grad in my first rotation, the first few weeks are full of lots of training sessions. The work I do depends largely on those more superior to me giving me tasks - these would typically involve legal research, reviewing documents and managing different work streams in a matter.
My day-to-day responsibilities include reviewing documents, legal research, editing documents, corresponding with clients and matter administration.

Pros and cons of working at King & Wood Mallesons
Pros
KWM has a strong culture, both within teams and as an organisation. There are many opportunities to socialise at both levels, and the teams in which I have worked have been tight- knit.
The level of training and support - you feel very well connected and resourced to be able to learn.
I have observed many opportunities for career progression at KWM. Those who demonstrate diligence, hard work and commitment are rewarded.
Very flexible. No issue at all. Very accommodating.
We get free corporate gym membership, after hours transport/dinner, and can swap pay for leave.
Cons
It is challenging to constantly try and perform at a high level.
In the morning, you're never quite sure if it's going to be a busy day.
While better than other firms at this from what I've heard, culture can be team-dependent.
As a junior the most difficult part is figuring out what practice area or team you want to join.
Fluctuating hours... work always comes first.
