Back for its 6th year, the Bakers' Dozen series is now LIVE - check out the full series below!

Visit the Prosple Events page to register for the sessions: https://au.prosple.com/graduate-employers/baker-mckenzie/events

The live sessions will be run by Zoom and all students of all year levels are welcome to attend. Students do not have to attend them all - attend as many or as few as you wish!

In addition to the usual live sessions, this year, there is a 'top tips' video and a competition with amazing prizes - more info coming soon!

And due to popular demand - there is a Partner Q&A where students will hear from two of Baker McKenzie Partners!

There are also two sessions on clerkship application tips - to support students across different states and to give more opportunities to have your questions answered (based on student feedback).

Plus, there are the usual sessions to support students during the full clerkship recruitment process, and sessions to support you learn more about the firm (from global opportunities, to Pro Bono, to ID&E, to our practice groups and more)... all with an incredible Bakers team and some special guests from Prosple and the Law Institute of Victoria/LIV Emerging Lawyers
