Law Graduates
As a Lavan Graduate, you will gain practical and diverse experience through two rotations, working closely with a range of leading Partners and lawyers. You will be supported and guided by your supervisor and be allocated a buddy for a smooth transition into firm life.
As a part of the Graduate Program, you will complete your Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice and Practical Legal Training (PLT) developed in partnership with College of Law. This program will help build, reinforce, and develop your skills for admission as a legal practitioner.
We’re proud to offer weekly Rostrum Club meetings which is a club set up at Lavan to develop communication and public speaking skills. This unique initiative enables people at Lavan and specifically our graduates, the opportunity to fine tune their communication, confidence, and presentation skills.
