A Coulter Legal Career

Your time is now. You’re ready to build your legal career within a professional firm. You know your goals: be valued and recognised for your achievements, develop your skills, and achieve that elusive work life balance.

At Coulter Legal, we want the same things. We are a business of people.

We value culture, flexibility, commitment, high performance and quality work. We are friendly, supportive of each other and prize the sharing of knowledge and skill.  We value the relationships we build with each, our clients and our community and want like-minded people to join us.

We work with interesting clients and cases, across diverse sectors and service areas. Through multiple locations in Geelong, Melbourne, the Bellarine and the Surf Coast, we service local, regional and national client partnerships. Like us, our clients are commercially focused and set high standards for exceptional client service.

Employer of choice

We nurture talent within a collegiate culture where ideas, experience and technical skills are shared freely. Expect a friendly, welcoming environment and regular feedback. We encourage individuality and take genuine interest in your professional development.

We support flexible work practices that enable you to achieve a sustainable work life balance.

We expect utmost professionalism from our people. We’re a hard-working team but we also take time to support one another and our community through sponsorships, participation and social activities.

Our positive engagement survey results tell us we’re achieving our vision of being an employer of choice.

Professional Development

At Coulter Legal, we provide continuous education and development opportunities for all our people. We invest in our people – everyone on our team attends external seminars, workshops and forums, and participates in regular in-house training. We encourage all of our people to share knowledge in formal training sessions and day-to-day interactions. We believe every client, every case and every conversation is a learning opportunity.

What we look for

We recruit law graduates, legal administration trainees, experienced lawyers, subject matter experts and specialised professionals. We look for culture and values, innovative thinking, the ability to build relationships and dedication to quality work. We want people who think outside the square, challenge and support those around them and who are dedicated to their craft.
