Australian Business Lawyers is a dynamic firm specialising in workplace law. In the most recent edition of Asia Pacific Legal 500, we were recognised as one of Australia’s top 10 employment and industrial relations practices.
The firm has grown rapidly over the last five years. With
5 partners and over
30 staff, our workplace practice is as large, or larger, than those you will find in Australia’s
major national and international law firms.
Our Services
We specialise in all aspects of workplace law across seven main practice areas:
Our People
To ensure our people have superior commercial and industry knowledge, they have been recruited from a wide talent pool. Many have come to us from large national law firms, while others have worked in corporations, unions, employer associations, academia and government.
We pride ourselves on our friendly, professional workplace
culture. We strive to be and remain an employer of choice,
offering our staff genuinely flexible work arrangements.
Our flexible arrangements have been recognised by the NSW
Law Society EEO awards.
Our Clients
Our clients are leading corporations in nearly every industry – from energy, finance, health and insurance, through to IT, logistics, manufacturing, professional services and retail. We advise some of the largest corporations operating in Australia and many of the country’s innovative smaller businesses.
We are retained by Australian Business Limited, an influential
business improvement organisation. This relationship brings
a unique quality to the work we do. We maintain almost 300
industrial awards on behalf of members of Australian Business
Limited, which includes responding to applications by unions
to vary awards or make new awards. We are unique amongst
law firms in doing this work.
Few if any law firms appear as regularly as we do in the
State and Federal Industrial Relations Commissions, and
we believe our knowledge and understanding of how these
tribunals work is unparalleled.
Careers With Us
Australian Business Lawyers continues to actively recruit high-quality lawyers as graduates, articled clerks and laterals in response to growth across all of our practice areas. Our recruitment focus is on lawyers who demonstrate technical excellence, commercial awareness, client focus, and interpersonal skills and want to grow with the firm. We value teamwork and respect for others in the workplace, and provide opportunities for professional and personal development through our comprehensive internal training programs.
