Internship Program at Katsaros & Associates Immigration Lawyers Melbourne
Today's intern, tomorrow's solicitor.
Bridging study and practice
At Katsaros & Associates, we are committed to supporting the next generation of legal professionals by providing meaningful, practical and immersive internship opportunities within a busy and dynamic legal practice.
Our Internship Program is designed to bridge the gap between university studies and professional practice, giving aspiring lawyers the opportunity to experience real legal work, develop practical skills, and gain insight into the operation of a successful law firm.
Structure and timing
Internship positions are available throughout the year and applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Most internships are structured as one month full-time, or a pro-rata equivalent arrangement where agreed.
Internships are conducted from our Melbourne office and provide participants with direct exposure to legal practice in a professional and supportive environment.
Genuine exposure, not just observation
Unlike many observational internships, our program is designed to provide genuine exposure to legal work and the day-to-day operation of a modern law firm. Depending on practice requirements and your level of experience, interns may have the opportunity to:
Legal research
Assist with legal research across live immigration matters.
Drafting
Draft correspondence and legal documents.
Client conferences
Observe client conferences with experienced practitioners.
Training sessions
Attend internal training sessions.
Case preparation
Assist with file management and case preparation.
Legal ethics
Develop an understanding of legal ethics and professional obligations.
Practice management
Gain insight into client service and legal practice management.

Applications that do not satisfy the above requirements may not be considered.

- Graduate Lawyer positions
- Other employment opportunities as they become available
