Pros and cons of working at MinterEllison AU

Pros

  • The new building is fantastic and the leadership in my team sets realistic expectations and timeframes with our clients.

  • Autonomy, collegiate atmosphere, non-hierarchical, development

  • Great access to very experienced individuals and leaders of the industry

  • The people. It is fantastic to work in an environment where the people truly support each other to achieve their potential.

  • The type of work that I get to do (the biggest projects for great clients) and the people I work with (my Partners are the best in the industry in their fields).

Cons

    • The firm does not celebrate its achievements enough. I feel that Minter Ellison is as good as any law firm in town, however that message has not always been effectively communicated to the market.

    • Long hours from time to time

    • Longer hours at work mean sacrificing some extracurricular activities in order to optimise work produce to supervisors and/or clients

    • There are times when you don't have much control of workflow.

    • The long working hours which is expected across the legal profession
