What it’s like to work for us

The law is an incredibly rewarding profession, but we recognise it can be demanding. For this reason we create an environment that is flexible, friendly, personable, collegiate and professionally stimulating. Our clients are at the centre of everything we do; so it is not only the collaborative, supportive relationships we have with each other, but also the well-established, trusting relationships we have with our clients, which make Thomson Geer a great place to work.

Our wellbeing@work program supports employees to maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

We also have an active social committee, providing lots of opportunities to develop close relationships with your colleagues.

We’re ready for you

We know you’re not just a student on work experience. We want to give you a realistic, stretching introduction to the legal profession. We offer a flexible, friendly and professionally stimulating environment that puts both our trusting client relationships and our staff’s wellbeing and development at the forefront. From day one, you’ll be an active participant in the team, involved in all aspects of legal practice, and working directly with experienced practitioners.

Are you ready for us?

We are looking for hard-working and motivated law students who have excelled academically. Students who are customer focused, commercially minded, work well in a team environment and are enthusiastic about commencing their career with a major law firm.
