Go Clayton Utz!

but all of them = long hours .'. yuck...

Allens and Mallesons do the vast majority of the big transactional work which is where the money is.

Clayton Utz is damned HUGE, but they have promoted a very nasty, competitive, back-stabbing attitude in the workplace in the past.

I think BDW seems like a decent firm - big, but still relatively friendly.

Slater and Gordon

lol you seem to get that with a lot of big firms..

i suppose coz they're so huge its hard to get to the top so people start doing whatever it takes to get there without caring whose careers they ruin a long the way...

It's very normal; human nature.
I think you'll also find that in other law and/or non-law firms.
Depends what type of person you are I guess.
I have a family friend that works there. She's based in HK though (I think). Yeah, she said it was humungous as well. She did B Commerce(Accounting)/LLB @ USYD.

Probably, but I have been told in particular there. Our family friend worked there for many years

Slater and gordon are seen by many as bottom feeders. they offer the no win no fee promise however they take a large proprotion of the compensation.

Gillia Gillard became a partner there within a few years.

is houlda explained better then...i meant that athey are a big firm as far as cases like BHP/ok tedi and stuff so if you're into that they'r a top firm to be looking at

gillard becoming a partner there so quickly doesnt really prove much coz shes obviously very good at what she does so you would expect a person with an extremely high calibre of knowledge and application to work to succeed in such a way

just coz it takes ur entire life to reach a top partner ina firm doesnt mean the firms any better or worse....

depends on the individual person and the firm and the industry they are dealing with

You guys are all seriously deluded.

The best place in the whole country is Robson & Oliver - "soliciting proffesionality".

Oh, you don't know about it? Well, that's cause they do secret government work...they're working on copyrighting Bette Middler's breasts at the moment. This high-powered core is kept undercover through the faccade of a sleazy regional office...majoring in conveyancing and wills.
