He whakatakinga

Taiāwhiowhio ana te rere o te kupu mihi ki a koutou.
Kua whakarauika i te rā nei.
Otirā ki te kaupapa e paihere nei i a koutou.

Holland Beckett, in conjunction with Pukeroa Oruawhata Group, introduced a summer clerk programme in 2022 for students who whakapapa to one of the 6 koromatua of Ngāti Whakaue.

This is a great opportunity for law students who are in their last two years of study to work in one of the Bay of Plenty’s top law firms alongside some of the Bays’ best solicitors.

Our Ngāti Whakaue Internship Programme will run at the same time as our annual summer clerk programme over the university summer holidays. As an intern at Holland Beckett, you will get to experience real-world work, have ongoing technical and soft skill training, meet some great people and have all the benefits of working in a large provincial firm.

Our aim is for each of our interns to have a great summer, get to know our firm, our people and our culture and values.

Benefits

As a summer intern, on top of a competitive salary, you’ll receive:
