You will be mentored by accredited specialists and Practice Leaders, who invest in your growth and development.

You will be exposed to all aspects of complex estate planning and structuring because our clients look to us to do the work that most legal practices cannot do.   This ranges from Wills with all varieties of testamentary trusts, addressing SMSF and trust interests, and devising the strategies behind the planning.

We value the following skills:

•    strong drafting skills with keen attention to detail

•    an appetite and aptitude for complex and detailed matters

•    strong relational skills with a focus on delivering exceptional client service

•    communicating confidently, clearly with empathy 

•    an ability to work in a collaborative and collegiate environment 

•    excellent research, drafting and communication skills

•    a commitment to building strong client relationships and building your profile and practice.

About us

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

•    We actually innovate – we were the first law firm to ditch time sheets in favour of value pricing. We price value, not time.

•    We are truly flexible – a large proportion of our staff and practice leaders work flexibly or part time.  

•    We are proudly inclusive and committed to equality – our CEO and more than 50 percent of our practice leaders and senior leadership team are female. 

•    We pride ourselves on being professional, but we don't wear suits unless we have to. 

•    We value work-life balance, so we focus on working smarter. 

•    We have a strong commitment to social impact. 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 listen and are open with each other. We don't take ourselves too seriously.

•    We do it with heart – people are the heart of Moores. We care about each other, and we are proud of the culture we have created. 

Other benefits of joining our team include:

•    Opportunities to work on multi-disciplinary teams.

•    Access to interesting, challenging and varied work.
