ABOUT US

Moores is not a traditional law firm. We are unique because:

• Our staff love working here – Moores recently ranked in the top 15% of Australian organisations surveyed by InSync in relation to employee engagement.
• We are truly flexible – a large proportion of our staff and practice leaders work flexibly or part time.
• We are proudly inclusive, diverse and committed to gender equality – our CEO and more than 50 percent of our practice leaders are female.
• We pride ourselves on being professional, but we don’t wear suits unless we have to.
• We value work-life balance, so we focus on working smarter.
• We have a strong commitment to pro bono and social impact
• We focus on working with purpose aligned clients to deliver great outcomes that benefit the community.
• We keep it real - we’re a down to earth bunch who listen and are open with each other. We don’t take ourselves too seriously.
• We do it with heart - people are the heart of Moores. We like and care about each other, and proud of the culture we’ve created.
