Johnson Winter Slattery

OUR FIRM

Johnson Winter Slattery is a leading independent Australian law firm. We advise major corporations, funds and governments on their most challenging transactions and disputes.

OUR VALUES

Looking after people is our top priority. Our ethos is: “We’re in it together” – it’s the cornerstone of our business and it guides our approach to everything we do.

OUR CULTURE

When you ask our lawyers “Why JWS?” the most common response is: “Because of the people.”

We pride ourselves on being down to earth, approachable, but always high performing. We offer a unique opportunity to take on high end legal work in an environment where people support each other. Our high level of senior lawyer engagement will give you more opportunity to shape your career and step up.

Our firm is committed to creating a culture of inclusion and belonging through diverse thinking, strong team collaboration and growth for our people, clients and communities. We genuinely care about our people and want everyone we work with to feel valued, respected and able to be themselves. Our commitment includes building relationships and fostering opportunities with First Nations peoples and organisations through our Reconciliation Action Plan.

OUR POINT OF DIFFERENCE

Our business model is different to other firms. Our lawyers work collaboratively across practices, with no silos or bureaucracy getting in the way of delivering great outcomes for our clients.

With a culture focused on supporting people, we offer graduates the opportunity to get hands-on experience, working on market leading legal work in a down to earth environment where people thrive.

THE CLERKSHIP PROGRAM

Our clerkship programs provide a realistic snapshot of your future with Johnson Winter Slattery. We will put you at the forefront of the corporate world, working with our clients on their most complex and business critical legal work – it’s what we do best. You will be given the opportunity to work closely with partners and senior lawyers across all of our practice areas. From day one, you will work on high profile, complex matters and receive guidance and mentoring from a strong support network. You will also benefit from your own structured and bespoke professional development program.

THE WAY TO STAND OUT

We are looking for people who are not only determined to get the best outcomes for our clients, but who share our values and want to work in a firm where people look out for each other. If you are driven to solve problems or get deals over the line, value collaboration over individual gain, and want a workplace that is low on admin and bureaucracy, then we want to talk to you.
