Brisbane

"Beautiful one day, perfect the next”

Facts
Brisbane is the third largest city in Australia, as well as the capital and most populous city of Queensland.  The city centre sits within a tropical landscape, with over 300 sunny days each year, lapping in views of the Brisbane River.

Lifestyle
Brisbane is a big-city package but the pretensions are refreshingly absent.  The lifestyle here is unrivalled, combining quality of work with a fantastic way of life.  Life in Brisbane is equally fulfilling for the single lawyer or a family.

Delight in the very best in food, wine, arts, entertainment and major sporting events whilst surrounded by a unique environment of relaxed sub-tropical flair.  Enjoy shopping, a buzzing night-time scene, and an endless range of outdoor activities from sailing and surfing to hot-air ballooning and 4WD excursions.  From the san drenched islands in the east to the crisp mountain rainforests in the west, with a vibrant, modern city in between, Brisbane has the best to offer.

The Legal Market
Although national law firms lead the way, there are a number of proud independent practices who have a stronghold in the market.  Niche boutique practices have started to carve solid names for themselves. In-house roles in Brisbane have boomed over the last couple of years, particularly in the resources, commercial and financial sectors.
