Strategic edge. Connected advantage.
What we offer
Our team of people enjoy:
- Progressive career paths
- Achievable budgets
- Realistic workloads
- Appropriate mentoring
- Competitive remuneration
- A program of continuing legal education
- An enjoyable workplace
- Work life/balance
We provide our team members with options. These include:
- Giving all our team members a 9.5-day fortnight. Each full time team member works a half day every second Friday.
- Publishing our career progression policy for lawyers so they understand the framework in which goals can be set.
- Offering flexible working arrangements. Family commitments, study and other interests often make it difficult to sign up to 'normal' working hours. Where relevant, we negotiate alternatives with our team members on an individual basis.
- Having a formal mentoring structure in place to promote the professional development of our lawyers.
- Giving lawyers the day to day conduct of files under the supervision of a partner or senior associate.
- Giving and receiving feedback through formal and informal review processes including annual staff surveys and 360 degree reviews.
- Providing in-house CPD accreditation and encouraging our professional team members to attend and present at external seminars involving other legal and industry professionals.
- Financing further study relevant to areas of specialisation if this is warranted.
- Helping our clients to be able to put a face to the name. Our lawyers join our clients at marketing events as well as at firm-organised industry presentations. Client contact is not limited to partners and senior associates.
- Recognising the importance of having fun. Our social club holds monthly events. There are monthly drink nights and mid-year and end of year functions and events. We have touch football and rowing teams.
