We have client relationships stretching back more than 150 years. That's something we're immensely proud of, but never take for granted.
We act for 60 of Australia's and 45 of the world's top 100 companies. From your first day at Allens Arthur Robinson, you'll be working at the cutting edge of the law, learning from business leaders and lawyers who are among the world's best.
You'll also have the chance to work on pro bono files, using your legal skills and experience to contribute to the broader community as part of the firm's Pro Bono Program. You might also have the opportunity to work with clients on a daily basis, while on secondment to their offices.
But doing the work is only half of the story. Client service is a two-way process, so we regularly seek client feedback. More importantly, we act on it.
One test of a law firm's stature is the scale and importance of the transactions on which it advises. Allens Arthur Robinson has been involved in many major mergers, acquisitions, privatisations, intellectual property disputes, native title issues and landmark court cases over the past decade.
Our involvement goes beyond legal opinions - in a number of cases, we have drafted legislation and regulatory frameworks.
