Why join Team MB?
For over 100 years, we have existed to extend access to justice - so the law can serve everyone, not just those who can afford it. That’s why we attract and retain some of the brightest, most compassionate and determined individuals.
Whether you’re just starting out in the legal industry, you’re already a tenacious lawyer, or you’re looking for your next career move in our highly skilled shared services team, a career with Maurice Blackburn is like no other.
Working at MB provides an environment where you will be surrounded by experts, supportive workmates, and countless opportunities to help you grow and develop you, in the direction you choose.
Together, we are moving Fearlessly Forward, achieving the best outcomes for clients, and creating a collaborative and high-performing work culture you enjoy being part of each day.
Now that is a strong purpose to come to work every day and work towards.
We asked our employees, how would you describe our culture?
Courage
We act with courage standing bravely beside those who need us most, and standing up for what really matters.
Compassion
We show compassion for every individual, embracing diversity and respecting people for their whole self. Whoever you are, whatever you’re facing, we’re here with kindness.
Collaboration
We’re committed to collaboration. With our team spirit, we bring people in from the edges to be genuinely inclusive and work together as equals.
Fairness
We put fairness first, doing what we know is right by being honest and unbiased without exception.
Tenacity
With the tenacity that comes from years of experience, we’re dedicated and driven to keep pushing for better.
Diversity & Inclusion
We’re ‘All In’ together, and here’s why…
We’re all different; and those differences are something we celebrate. It’s our individual life experiences that form our unique values, perspectives, ideas, aspirations, even our world view. And these differences shape a remarkable, innovative and successful Australian community. It’s called diversity. And we believe that a diverse community can solve problems, face challenges and reach better outcomes more effectively than one with the same world view. Not only do we believe in it, we will actively foster diversity and promote inclusion within our firm.
We offer you a safe, supportive and collaborative environment, backed by inclusive leaders and progressive people policies, where you can be your authentic self and thrive. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive culture, enriched by differences in ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, age and family arrangements. We love that you have a life outside of work and support whatever yours looks like.
