James Cook University Careers Directory Profiles

The fact I can bring my whole self to work and be myself and I am provided challenging and meaningful work, which lets me focus on becoming the best lawyer I can be.

Alex Hewitt is an Associate in the IPTech team.

I generally work in a team, working with more senior lawyers in the group. But I also am very well supported and supervised to take on more responsibility on smaller matters.

I love being given tasks I have never done before and using all the skills I have learnt during my degree and through my experience to give it a go. I get this nerdy buzz when I feel myself stepping out of my comfort zone and growing.

The Unilever Graduate Program is fantastic because you are exposed to so many different facets of the business during your rotation.
