Please comment on your company's office space, location and facilities. And while we're at it, please tell us a little about the dress code.
The location, client floor, tech, meeting rooms and other amenities are great and the internal cafe is excellent. The open-plan office structure and hot-desking is very inconvenient and distracting but unfortunately it looks like it's here to stay post-COVID. The dress code is very relaxed -- most people only wear a suit if meeting a client or going to court. Other firms I have visited feel very uptight by comparison.

The office is fine. We are hot-desking, but everyone has their space that they will generally sit in. The facilities are fine as well. The dress code is flexible. If there is going to be any client or court interaction it is expected we are dressed professionally, but otherwise people are dressed smart-casual.

The office is located in the new 1 The Esplanade Building on Elizabeth Quay. It is beautiful.

Location is in townhall so close to other facilities. The office itself is modern and central.

Brand new office fitout at One the Esplanade that looks over Elizabeth Quay and a quick 200m walk from the train station or city of Perth parking lot.

The offices are very nice, however there is not as much room as the old building. As a result, there is sometimes a shortage of desks for paralegals and clerks. The office is very nice however and located near the Quay so it is easy to access the city and public transport. The dress code depends on what is on, so if there is a client meeting then formal is expected, otherwise anything goes.

It is very nice, we moved in March 2023 - the dress code could be a bit more flexible

Office space is great, and open plan. Nice new offices at Elizabeth Quay in Perth, central but also when you're in the lobby you truly feel away from the office and can go for a run along the river or to a local cafe/bar. Dress code is dress for your day. Most people dress for work, but Friday's are casual Fridays.

Brand new offices at 80 Collins. Absolutely incredible.
Graduate, Melbourne
Great location, really good cafe and building facilities. Dress code depends on the team. Corporate is more formal, other teams are smart casual if there are no client meetings.
