**What we Offer**
We’re offering you the opportunity to become a valued member of a dynamic firm with fantastic mentoring and learning opportunities.

We offer a competitive salary commensurate with experience, genuine flexibility including the opportunity for a hybrid work model, a wellbeing program in addition to a supportive and friendly culture.

**About us**
Moores is not a traditional law firm. We are unique because:

- Our staff love working here, Moores was named the ‘Employer of Choice’ at the Australian Law Awards 2023 and we recently ranked in the top 25% of Australian organisations surveyed by InSync in relation to employee engagement.
- We actually innovate - we were one of the first law firms to ditch time sheets in favour of value pricing and we’re not looking back We price value, not time.
- We are truly flexible - majority of our staff and practice leaders work flexibly or part time in a hybrid work environment.
- We are proudly inclusive, diverse and committed to gender equality - our CEO and more than 50 percent of our practice leaders are female.
- We pride ourselves on being professional, but we don’t wear suits unless we have to.
- We have a strong commitment to pro bono and social impact - our pro bono resources supported thousands of NFPs.
- We focus on working with purpose-aligned clients to deliver great outcomes that benefit the community.
- We keep it real - we’re a down to earth bunch who like to work hard, but have fun along the way and don’t take ourselves too seriously.
- We do it with heart - people are the heart of Moores. We like and care about each other.
