It's that time of the year when you, as budding lawyers, are looking for summer clerk gigs. We’re looking for a few amazing students who share our passion and interest in Tech, Media and IP to join the team.
It's important for you try a mix of legal work while you're still figuring out how you want to use your law degree. As New Zealand’s leading Tech, Media and IP firm, our summer clerk programme lets you get a taste across corporate, commercial and litigation roles.
We are all about expanding horizons for our clients and each other. You’ll be learning from the best Tech, Media and IP lawyers around, with the added bonus of working with clients you’ll know and care about. Our clients include startups, not-for-profits, NZ corporates and global tech companies.
Our summer clerk programme is aimed at students in their penultimate year of study.

10/11 May: Interviews & HGM summer clerk Event
17 May: Offers
Your CV, transcript(s) and two short videos (recommended 30 - 90 seconds each).
These videos help us get a better idea about you from the get-go. While we do love great production value, we're not expecting Taika quality here.
Video 1: This video is about you (obviously) because who you are, and your fit with our awesome team, is really important.
Video 2: This video is about what draws you to the type of work we do. It might sound a bit self-centred, but as a specialist Tech, Media and IP firm, it’s less about us and more about making sure you know what you’re getting yourself into.
Our applications are now closed. If you've applied already, best of luck and we'll be in touch soon.
Shortlisted candidates are invited to meet our awesome team at a low-key function at our office. This gives you a chance to meet us all and ask anyone in the team if the firm is as great as it seems (it is). It’s also a great opportunity to have an informal chat (not that our interviews are really all that formal) to get to know you.
The summer clerk programme starts in November, after you've completed your exams, and runs through until mid-February. You’ll also get a chance to enjoy some of the summer with a few paid weeks off over Christmas / New Year.
Apart from the great experience we hope you’ll have with us, here are some of the other benefits:
- Competitive salary
- Clothing allowance
- Relocation allowance, if you’re based out of Auckland
- Paid holiday over Christmas / New Year
- Exposure to all our practice areas, working across the whole team
- Real work for real clients
- Excellent training, including participation in our professional development sessions
- A very good coffee machine and regularly replenished cracker jar – cheds are the current favourite
- HGM social events
All the very best for your application and do get in touch if you have any questions or need more info.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
