Diversity Write a review
Withers is committed to providing a supportive and tolerant culture while strengthening its determination to be the best. To be the best in everything it does the firm recognises that it needs to draw upon a broad pool of talent so that we reflect the diverse spectrum of our clients and we continue to be forward thinking in delivering innovative solutions to our clients. We also recognise that respecting people's individuality and fostering a culture of inclusion are the foundation of any retention strategy.
Summer associate program
Our summer associate program is designed to ensure you receive maximum exposure to the core areas within Wealth Planning, such as Funds, Investments, Tax and Trusts; Family and Business and International. As there is a good deal of overlap in these areas, many practicing in the field have at some point in their careers spent time doing work representative of all three areas. As such, we prefer not to operate a formal rotational program, instead work is centrally coordinated by the Summer Associate Program Leader to ensure that all our summer associates receive a good variety of work.
