wilson/ryan/grose Lawyers Reviews

The promotion possibilities are Graduate Lawyer > Associate > Partner if you want and the attributes of all of these positions are clear and discussed at various stages.

The firm is extremely committed to CSR. Almost every partner sits on a community board and volunteers their time to helping the community. All staff are encouraged to actively engage in community programs, whether it be sporting organisations, chambers of commerce, women in business or charitable organisations.

Our company has an excellent culture! Many employees enjoy lunch together (whether in the lunch room or at one of the surrounding cafes/restaurants) and we always enjoy a drink together on a Friday evening to end the week.  Everyone is always willing and able to assist with any issues one may have, whether it be work-related or more personal. This makes it a very comfortable workplace to be a part of. 

Have community focus as a firm value. 

I am exposed to an array of tasks and responsibilities that widely differ in their nature and complexity. Each day is different and challenging and presents me with new opportunities to facilitate my professional growth.

Very satisfied with management, especially with their performance feedback. They understand that as a graduate, you will need guidance so are happy to assist whenever they can and always make themselves accessible.

We have office space spread over multiple floors however, all workgroup members are on the same floor which promotes ease of access when needing to quickly discuss matters. We have kitchens on each level and have multiple boardrooms and interview rooms. All staff dress in professional attire.

I firstly had an interview with the Managing Partner of the firm to assess my suitability for a period of Work Experience. I undertook a period of this and once completed, applied for the Graduate Position starting the following year. I then sat a second interview with the Managing Partner and another Partner of the firm before I was then offered the position.  The firm also undertakes yearly performance reviews as a way to monitor your progress and discuss your ongoing strengths and weaknesses. 

Employees are very well compensated at my company.

Trainees at my company work directly with experienced Solicitors to enhance their skills. You work on their files/matters with them and they provide feedback on your work as the matters progresses. 

My work hours are 8:30-5. At this stage I am managing my work enough to get here just before 8:30 and leave just after 5. When I know I have extra work to do I will arrive early or stay back late. w/r/g understands that you are a person as well as a professional, and as long as work is getting done, they are understandable when hours need to be adjusted for things such as travel or appointments.

At WRG we run paperless files in an effort to reduce our environmental footprint.
