Norton Rose Fulbright Reviews

Our firm has promotion opportunities up to partner level. The transition from Graduate to lawyer to Associate arises on a time basis (e.g. Associate is awarded roughly a year post admission). Senior Associate, Special Counsel and Partner come as a matter of merit

Enormously prominent - both in terms of actual legal work as well as community initiatives.

Company culture is fantastic! Within my team, we have social gatherings outside of work. The partner is considerate of my professional and personal well-being and the team works cohesively to achieve its goals

Diversity is embraced at NRF, there are celebrations with relation to Mardi Gras, LGBTQI and the firm is heavily involved in Pro Bono, and the black lives matter movement. There are regular presentations and announcements with respect to diversity and inclusion, and it is my understanding that NRF has one of the highest ratios of female partners across major law firms in Australia.

I have learnt so much during my time at NRF that I feel I would be very competent if I went to another firm. I feel like NRF creates and provides an atmosphere where you are able to work with support and confidence. NRF are willing to give junior lawyers a real go at work opportunities where you may not get that level of work other firms at such a junior stage.

My partner is really welcoming and always keen to chat about work and non-work items. The other senior lawyers are excellent at providing me with interesting work and are just great people.

Beautiful offices in Martin Place. Great facilities. Dress code is dress for your day.

NRF was without a doubt my favourite interview process, and is in large part why I chose to come to the firm. Other firms have over the top assessment centres which are just not enjoyable as an applicant and don't cast the firm in a pleasant light in my opinion.

Highly competitive pay

Highly beneficial formal training program specific to each practice group which is useful as a graduate and invitations to attend training associated with other practice groups if desired. Informal training from members of the team

It certainly has not been like the horror stories you hear of grads working till the early hours of the morning (yet). Even as a grad, I've been given permission to work from home regularly which greatly helps my work-life balance.

The office has a 5 star environmental rating and has strict policies for recycling and trying to reduce waste.
