Staff Testimonials

My clerkship within the civil litigation team at Parry Field Lawyers consisted of invaluable experiences and opportunities for professional development. Under the guidance of experienced partners, I delved into various aspects of civil litigation, and gained practical skills and insights that I have been able to visit back into my legal studies.

I had the chance to actively participate in litigation discovery, conduct research, and work on writing legal opinions and memos, where I had the opportunity to apply legal principles to real-world scenarios. This hands-on experience not only enhanced my understanding of civil litigation but also honed my attention to detail and critical thinking skills.

A unique aspect of my clerkship at Parry Field was the close collaboration with supervising partners received. This close collaboration has taught me the importance of being able to communicate complex legal concepts in a clear and concise manner, which I have been able to translate into my legal studies. Beyond the professional growth opportunities, the environment at Parry Field Lawyers was both supportive and enjoyable. Regular social activities, including morning teas and after-work drinks, created a vibrant and inclusive culture where collaboration thrived.

In summary, my clerkship experience at Parry Field Lawyers was nothing short of transformative. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been part of such a dynamic and enriching team.

“I am continually challenged and supported to be my best. I was involved in real legal work immediately, participating in client meetings and learning from more experienced lawyers. The exposure to a range of interesting and sometimes curly legal issues has been great for my development. I also enjoy collaborating with lawyers from the other teams and offices within Parry Field.”

Vicky joined us in May 2022 after completing her LLB and BA majoring in Classics and English from the University of Canterbury. She’s now working with our Litigation and Disputes Resolution team and says she’s enjoying using her research and problem-solving skills to help clients resolve their issues.

Vicky ReidSolicitor

As a law clerk at Parry Field Lawyers over the summer, I had an incredible opportunity to grow both professionally and personally in a challenging yet highly supportive environment. What stood out to me most was the exceptional mentorship—I was amazed by the amount of one-on-one time I had with partners who not only welcomed questions but genuinely enjoyed teaching and sharing their knowledge.

From day one, I was trusted with meaningful responsibilities, gaining hands-on experience in drafting letters and legal opinions, managing deadlines, and applying legal theory to real-world scenarios. I engaged directly with clients, collaborated with experienced lawyers, and contributed to achieving common goals.

Beyond the work itself, Parry Field fosters a strong sense of community. From weekly morning teas and spontaneous team coffees to evening drinks and other social events, I always felt like a valued part of a close-knit team.

For any law student seeking a firm that encourages creativity, prioritises excellence, and gets to the heart of what matters, I highly recommend Parry Field.
