Welcome to the MinterEllison Disputes, Competition and Insurance Virtual Internship Program. Learn how you can make an impact at our firm.
Our Risk, Regulatory, Insurance and Controversy (RRIC) group includes Dispute Resolution/ Litigation; Insurance and Risk; Regulatory; Competition; Intellectual Property; Technology and Reconstruction (Insolvency/ Restructuring).
RRIC is one of the broadest Lines of Business. Their experience ranges from the work our media lawyers do in handling most (if not all) of Fairfax’s pre-publication work (they often know what will make headlines, before it’s even printed!), to a significant number of health law matters – lots of hospitals, lots of incidents, lots of interesting work. Not to mention the work we do on major corporate insolvencies and restructurings.
We are a borderless Line of Business. This means we have the very best people, working on the very best matters – irrespective of geography.
