Madeline Worme
Graduate Lawyer
Maddie joined the Beck Legal team as part of a Latrobe University Bendigo Clinical Placement in 2022 and continued to work in our Litigation and Local Government team on a part-time basis while completing her degree before being admitted as a lawyer in 2024.
Maddie is an advocate of gaining practical experience in a law firm whilst studying and believes her time at Beck Legal as a student has put her on the front foot in starting her career. When we asked Maddie to put those benefits into words she said:
- It is a supportive and positive environment where teamwork is a priority. Everyone isn’t trying to compete; we all help each other and want us all to succeed.
- Working whilst studying has challenged me not just academically but has allowed me to develop and grow as a person and given me confidence in my own ability.
- Getting the practical experience as well as the theory has made me question and explore files on a deeper level, to understand the process rather than just read it. I get to network with lawyers, interact with clients and I have someone to go to with questions around what I am studying as well as my files.
- Studying and working part time at Beck legal has allowed me to get a foot in the door and an advantage over others who are looking for job opportunities along with everyone else that finishes university at the same time, especially in regional Victoria.
