We’re always on the hunt for enthusiastic people to join our terrific team.
King & Company's reputation relies on the quality of its team members and the close relationships that our people build with our clients.
With more than 130 years of history, the firm occupies a niche as Queensland's most experienced provider of legal services to local government and we’re always keen to hear from graduates and lawyers interested in any (or all) of the diverse fields that characterise our practice.
Our local government and other clients provide an ever-expanding array of services that generate a correspondingly wide variety of commercial and social activity. Their activities generate a kaleidoscope of legal challenges, requiring their consultants to possess broad-based knowledge and skills to service them. As one Judge has observed, if you can service local government properly, you can practise successfully in any legal discipline.
In addition to legislation-specific local government work, our daily practice encompasses:
- administrative and constitutional law;
- planning and development (including infrastructure planning);
- property law (including acquisitions, disposals, leasing, resumptions, native title);
- commercial (including superannuation, contracts and tendering);
- corporations law;
- insurance and general litigation;
- industrial law;
- right to information and information privacy law.
Our practice fosters development of the specialist research and drafting skills necessary to meet continuous demand for clear and concise opinions, precedents, pleadings, and unique or project-specific contracts.
The firm provides modern technology and facilities (including excellent research resources for professional staff) in attractive riverfront premises in the CBD. It has a strong commitment to ongoing professional development. Our working environment is professional, yet social and relaxed. We also have an “open door” policy, which ensures all lawyers have access to partners at all times.
King & Company is committed to creating a workplace with a culture that is diverse, inclusive and respects and celebrates our partners’ and employees’ differences. We are committed to equal employment opportunity. We are also committed to providing a workplace free from bullying, harassment and unlawful discrimination. We value and understand the importance of work/life balance.
So, if all of this sounds good to you and if you’ve got excellent people and top-notch communication skills, along with the capacity to be undaunted by deadlines and changing situations and if you love being a team player and have a big appetite for learning and advancing and harbour ambitions to be the best you can be, then contact our Office Administrator, Marg Wenham.
