Rigby Cooke Lawyers is delighted to welcome Andrew Gale and Hendrik Wise, our talented law graduates for 2025

06 February 2025

Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Andrew Gale and Hendrik Wise as part of our 2025 Graduate Program.

Over the next 12 months, Andrew and Hendrik will complete three rotations across various practice areas, working closely with our partners and gaining exposure to a diverse range of legal work. This experience will provide them the opportunity to find the area of law they are most passionate about. Andrew will undertake his first rotation with our Workplace Relations team, while Hendrik will join the Litigation & Dispute Resolution team.

Commenting on the commencement of our 2025 Graduate Program,  Managing Partner Bill Karvela said:

“We are enormously proud of our Graduate Program and look forward to another successful year with the commencement of Andrew and Hendrick. Our program provides our law graduates with the opportunity to make a real and meaningful contribution. They will work on complex matters alongside partners who are leaders in their field. The guidance and support they receive over the next 12 months will be pivotal to their future success.”

Andrew holds a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Commerce from Deakin University, and Hendrik holds a Juris Doctor, as well as a Bachelor of Arts with majors in History and Philosophy, both from The University of Melbourne.

The partners and staff wish Andrew and Hendrik every success for the year ahead and look forward to their continued professional growth with the firm.
