MinterEllison Reviews

MinterEllison wants us to move up and encourages us to actively meet our targets so we can progress.

Extensive pro bono and social enterprise network

It's great. For one of the big 6 law firms in the country, it is genuinely surprising how engaging the entire office is with culture. There are always mini-events on for the entire office at their internal cafe. Each floor also has events and puts things on for their team. Usually, when a big deal closes there is a team lunch for people who worked on it. After-work drinks on Friday downstairs is a regular occurrence, as well as many coffee trips throughout the day. At all different levels people can choose to join in or not, there's never any pressure but always good fun and a great way to meet new people and chat socially to develop networks.

Incredibly progressive in respect of diversity and workplace culture

It can involve any combination of drafting letters of advice, legal research, document review, drafting employer contracts, summarising employer obligations in the face of the pandemic and so much more.

The team is dedicated to having mid and end of rotation sessions, and also ensure the graduates have goals to work towards throughout the year.

Office is amazing. Located in Circular Quay the views are spectacular of the Sydney harbour and easy to access by public transport. Offices are very modern and open. Bathrooms are great and the building provides exercise classes and has fully facilitated change rooms with showers, towels, soap, etc. They have an internal cafe where everything is heavily subsidised by the company ($2 coffees, $6 lunches, etc.). There's plenty of places to eat and drink surrounding as well. The building also offers lots of other services such as a mail room, bike racks, dry cleaning, and general concierge services.

Video assessments, cognitive assessments and face-to-face interviews with HR and Partners.

My company is proactive with responding to increases in the market regarding salary expectations

The firm is proactive to continue our learning and development as graduates

Company is extremely flexible. There is a variety of people working from home and in the office. As long as the work gets done, then when it gets done doesn't matter as much. Some people start and finish later, others opt for earlier. Some take a break to exercise during the day.

They strongly promote environmental responsibility generally, but also have an internal policy to reduce their foot print.
