Life & Culture
Balance is at the heart of our business.
We focus on excellence without losing sight of balance. We understand that as people go through different phases of life, the amount of time they are able to dedicate to their career can vary. To retain top talent, we adapt to our people's changing needs. We offer many flexible work arrangements, including part-time work, paid parental leave and non-primary caregiver leave, study leave, carer’s leave and options to work from home. Currently, 60% of our people (including men and women) have some kind of flexible working arrangement. This includes working less than full-time, adjusting core working hours, working from home, or any combination or tailored approach. We support our people throughout all the phases of their lives.
Pro Bono and Responsible Business
Nothing motivates lawyers more than the ability to make an impact - on the law, legal systems and people’s lives.
Making an impact is at the very core of why we do what we do. We have the ability to help disenfranchised and disadvantaged people in our community.
We fulfil our role as global citizens through our Colin Biggers & Paisley Foundation which brings together our entire community offering and is comprised of three streams - pro bono legal services, volunteering and charitable contributions. The Foundation’s core strategy is to promote and protect the rights of women and children and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
As a signatory to the Australian Pro Bono Centre’s National Pro Bono Target, we encourage our people across all areas and levels of the firm to proactively undertake pro bono work and participate in community assistance initiatives. We use our skills and our expertise to help address unmet legal need and to provide resources and opportunities for the benefit of communities. We work with individuals and not-for-profit organisations that work on behalf of low income or disadvantaged members of the community.
