We're not your standard law firm.

We were founded on a desire to do things differently, in how we work, how we support our people, and how we build careers. We're collaborative, progressive, and focused on creating an environment where people can do their best work.

Most recently, in the Legal Firm of Choice Survey by Lawyers Weekly, Gilchrist Connell was ranked among Australia's leading law firms, rising to 24th nationally, up from 50th in 2024-25.

While we're proud of these achievements, what matters most is the experience of our people.

- You're recognised as an significant part of the business

- Solid organisational skills and attention to detail
