It is not the destination; it is the journey.

My journey at Auslaw Partners commenced in a mentoring program in which I met my mentor, the Managing Partner of Auslaw Partners, Mr Huiming Lin. At first glance, I was cognizant of the qualities that differentiated Mr Lin from ordinary lawyers. One of his idiosyncrasies was that he placed considerable emphasis on marketing. From WeChat to Xiaohongshu, LinkedIn to Facebook, he amassed an extensive number of followers across multiple online platforms with his acute perception of the legal market. It was eye-opening to notice that being a lawyer is more than having sound legal knowledge, it is about presenting yourself in the best possible way.

I mainly worked in the migration division under the guidance of Partner Mr Haiyang Wang and Solicitor Ms Audrey Lin. My duties included assisting in the drafting of submissions, performing legal research and preparing chronology. As Mr Wang and Ms Lin’s caseload was diverse, I had the opportunity to gain exposure to different types of visa applications such as subclass 188 (business visa) and 190 (skilled nominated visa). Speaking from experience, Mr Wang always reminded me although a visa application may seem straightforward, it is the minute details that decide whether an application is granted or refused. Any mistakes can cost the client’s case. What I truly hold in high regard, however, is Mr Wang’s enthusiasm to go above and beyond helping clients to apply for a visa such that he organises events to help new migrants to embrace the Australian culture and values.

I am extremely grateful for the trust and forbearance everyone in Auslaw Partners placed in me. My internship drew to a close, but the experiences, knowledge and memories I acquired live on forever.

Auslaw Partner 实习律师助理

法律一直是我的职业发展方向，由于对法律的喜爱，结束法学本科的学习后，深感真理无穷、知之甚少以及法律的复杂性，于是决定继续深造，来到澳大利亚。

在来到澳大利亚后，由于新冠疫情，我决定在疫情稳定的布里斯班生活一段时间，而林律师在布里斯班执业，为我提供了实习机会。

在实习期间，第一感受便是律所氛围的融洽，每个律师都愿意分享经验、给予建议，并提供很多学习法律实践的机会。除此之外，律所注重培养实习律师，每个星期的law talk 会邀请其他相关行业的专业人士或者其他律所专注其他领域的律师，为大家提供珍贵的了解不同领域和其他法律领域的机会。

同时，林律师为我提供了学习management以及marketing的机会，在让我处理一些事务的同时，为我讲解背后关于管理、市场营销的原理。我一直对管理及市场营销十分感兴趣，因为这是律师职业晋升所必须了解的其他专业领域。林律师也为我提供了很多参加客户会议的机会，在其中学习到了很多表达沟通的技巧。其次，在如何转化客户和确认委托上，丹丹律师给我们分享了她的执业经验，她将根据客户的地理位置、客户首次咨询的反应、首次咨询的方式、客户的来源采取不同的策略来转化客户和确认委托，判断客户的可得性和增加确认委托概率。我十分珍惜以及感谢这些宝贵经验的分享，为我将来的职业发展提供了极好的支持。

来到澳大利亚后有一段时间的迷茫和不知所措，不知道是否继续法律职业，带给我了无聊、倦怠、消沉。但在律所实习后，发现了对法律难凉之热血。这个为我带来了很多成就感，也让我成为了更好的自己的职业，将会是我继续的坚持。2022，祝大家心想事成！
