Integrity. Professional. Compassionate. Clear thinking. Committed to community. If our values align with yours, we want you!
To say we’re proud of our over 125-year history is an understatement. To expand upon our history and continue our growth into the future we need confident, insightful and committed graduates who aren’t afraid to think outside the box to join our team.

Our Graduate Program
Our Graduate Program will expose you to opportunities and experiences within our various workgroups across our two firm locations.
We’ll provide you with the opportunity to work alongside our Partners and solicitors in a very hands-on, collaborative environment. No two days are the same and you’ll be diving in headfirst from the moment you arrive – client appointments, court attendances, drafting documents, networking; we’ve got it all.
Graduates who can think on their feet and whose approach is client-focused will do well in our firm.
