Slater and Gordon Lawyers

Slater and Gordon Lawyers have been a pleasure to work for since i started in 2015. The firm have always motivated me to grow my knowledge as i have moved through different levels of my role. I began as a Trainee Junior Accounts Clerk and have since worked through 3 levels to become an Accounts Clerk for which i am very proud of. The role of an Accounts Clerk is a senior role in the team where other staff members come to me for advise and assistance on various matters to do with clients trust accounts, payments, receipting of funds, banking of cheques, reconciling of bank accounts and checking of bank statements. 
A regular day for me would involve sorting through the morning mail and distributing work to team members, ensuring appropriate payments are being made with the appropriate authorisation while sticking to an agreed budget, the receipting of funds that have been deposited into various bank accounts, taking cheques and cash to the bank to be deposited on behalf of other organisations or clients, reconciling credits and debits in the bank account in regards to what has been processed through our work system, general filing, handling of petty cash and answering phone queries from staff members or external vendors.
Working at Slater and Gordon has taught me resilience when dealing with disgruntled people, it has taught me how to manage my time appropriately so deadlines are met, and has taught me that hard work and determination will pay off.
The culture at Slater and Gordon is extremely supportive which makes me comfortable coming into work each day.
The hardest part of my job was handling the workload at the beginning when i was new to full time employment and it's responsibilities. This hardship has now become one of my proudest achievements as i feel confident that i can overcome any learning hurdles and grow from it.
The most enjoyable part of my job is assisting team members in problem solving and the satisfaction that comes from resolving an issue, no matter the size.

Managing my and authors' incoming emails; making appointments; drafting letters/emails/court documents; filing of correspondence and documents on clients' files; when I commenced work at Slater & Gordon (previously Schultz Toomey O'Brien Lawyers) I had not had recent experience in Family Law but the other staff members and lawyers assisted me with learning the Family Law process and I was confident and proficient in this area of law after only 1 month; the hardest part of my role is wanting to get back-log of work done to avoid extra stress on my authors and in turn myself, but not being permitted to do so for additional pay so I usually undertake these tasks on my own time as I have very strong work ethics and if there is work/administration duties to be done, then I get them done (lunch breaks, before and after a working day or weekends) the most enjoyable part of my role is client satisfaction and ensuring that my authors are organised for appointments, court attendances and tasks they need to attend to on various time limits

As professionals Slater and Gordon Lawyers is always confident of continue to deliver for our clients the best affordable legal service and help them through their own uncertainties.  We have great tools to help each others at work and Assure Programs provide a broad range of services available for all employees. We also have a sequence of training sessions that offers to all staff to assist our well-being and managing our processes and activities. I have personally gained a lot of knowledge thru these sessions. We had our birthdays celebrated altogether in the boardroom regularly, watched the Melbourne Cup, never missed the Xmas festivities apart from the staff meetings. The hardest part of the job was seeing our vulnerable clients who were going thru the pain and hardship time. And the most enjoyable part was the witnessing their happy faces after wining the case with a life changing outcome.

Slater & Gordon were a great company to work for. Most of the staff were extremely friendly and very easy to get along with. I learned a great deal about working for a large scale and very professional company, my skills were highlighted and I learned a lot about myself in this role which I am very grateful for.
Management were for the most part great, I feel that any staff issues that were brought to attention may have been looked past.
The hardest part of the job was the location being so far from home, leaving at 6am in the morning and not getting home until 7.30pm became quite hard and tiring. The most enjoyable part was definately the staff memebers, not just in my department but the whole company. In the end however I did feel let down and not appreciated as much as I deserved, and for that reason I resigned from the position.

I was employed as a New Client Sevices Consultant for 5 years and really enjoyed the position. 
Although the training provided by the company was minimal, each call that you take is different and also an opportunity to genuinely assist people that really need the help.
The management structure is wishy  washy at best and ever changing. If you had a question it always seemed best to sort it out with your own colleagues, instead of getting a vague  answer from a ‘manager’. 
There always seemed to be rumours that the NCS positions would be moved offshore or reduced and moved to a single state - which is what eventually happened, along with the phasing out of different areas of law in the company.

A great team environment.  Very family friendly and flexible working hours and rewards for good work performance.

Working with Slater and Gordon allowed me the ability to help people in a less fortunate situation, and to assist them with their claims to ensure they reached the best outcomes in their daily life and future.

A very friendly culture and very social.

Management was always approachable, and willing to guide all levels.

The most enjoyable job I’ve had in law. They make us feel so empowered as law students and the opportunities for career advancement are unmatched. Such a kind team that always want to lift each other up. You’ll make life-long friends here.

A friendly environment with good people which fosters professional and personal growth.
I work in litigation and undertake document review, preparation of briefs for counsel, attending meetings with counsel and witnesses and attending court.
My work is interesting and keeps me intellectually stimulated.
My colleagues are wonderful and contribute to my professional growth.

I enjoyed going to my job everyday, the people, the culture, such diversity and staff are well treated with benefits such as Melbourne Cup lunches, EOFY dinners, Christmas functions, helping in the Communuity with Charity and participating challenging other law firms in sport and in particular S & G participation in the Chinese New Year Celebrations.

I can’t begin to explain how much I enjoy working at Slater+Gordon. Everyone truly cares for you and the paralegal team atmosphere is unmatched. The work can be tough and requires a lot of dedication but that’s what it’s all about. We right wrongs for real people.
