Join us and our way of life

At Murdoch Lawyers we understand what it means to provide excellent legal advice that ultimately, makes people’s lives better. With accredited specialists and a wealth of experience across five practice areas, we are a full-service law firm that does things differently.

With flexible working arrangements, there’s never been a better time to join one of Queensland’s leading regional law firms. Make the tree-change and escape the hustle and bustle of big city life in the regional city of Toowoomba and work from our founding office; base yourself in our Brisbane CBD office; work remotely; or take a hybrid approach and combine all three.

We are a purpose-led business and believe that supporting our people to determine what they want to achieve both personally and professionally will ultimately help to provide a great client experience. As such, we regularly work with our team on their career development and business contributions.

Our people also enjoy an environment that promotes professional and personal growth while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Our ‘business as usual’ looks like mentoring and skills development, health and well-being programs, regular (and we mean regular) social events and support of various community activities.

The Murdochs way

  • Committed: self-motivated, dedicated and accountable.
  • Communication: openness, honesty and integrity.
  • Care: empathy and respect.
  • Continuous Improvement: pursue high-quality results in our work and relationships.
  • Team members who return to us: we see the value in mentoring our people so they can live their best life and achieve their career and personal goals. We recognise the importance of growing them so they can eventually leave the “Murdochs nest” to expand their wings; but we also have an open door policy for those who share our values and have welcomed team members back to re-join us time and time again over the years.

Current Career Opportunities

  • Expressions of interest – In addition to these advertised opportunities, we are always excited to take expressions of interests from proactive people across all areas of our business. We have a long-standing history of creating roles for people who share our values and purpose (not just for lawyers, but for our professional team members too). If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you.

Please submit your resume and cover letter to our People Experience Manager, Holly Miller.

What's so special about working at Murdoch Lawyers?

Hear from our team

Hayden Ballinger

“My Murdochs experience so far has been very positive where I have been, and continue to be, exposed to a broad spectrum of interactions. I started in an Administrative role and have since been given the opportunity to move into a Paralegal role, all the while being able to develop my personal and professional skills and capabilities through diverse interactions with varying types of people and situations. In particular I have found the people at Murdochs to be very personable and supportive but also highly attentive to who they are dealing with, which is something I greatly appreciate and have experienced as equally appreciated by those who we have provided our services. I am excited for, and look forward to, my future involvement with Murdoch Lawyers, much like how I am excited for the day the Wallabies can return the Bledisloe Cup to Australia!”

“I truly enjoy working as an administrative assistant at Murdoch Lawyers because it places me in the centre of a dynamic, fast-paced environment. I thrive on the variety of tasks—from managing important documents and coordinating schedules to supporting the legal team in ensuring everything runs smoothly. The sense of responsibility that comes with ensuring everything runs smoothly is rewarding, and I find it fulfilling to contribute to a positive client experience. I also appreciate the supportive atmosphere in the firm, where I’m encouraged to grow professionally. Whether through learning new skills, receiving mentorship, or gaining exposure to different areas of law, I feel empowered to develop and expand my expertise each day.“

“I have had a wonderful experience in my four years at Murdochs. I began as an Administrative Assistant and, while being unconditionally supported throughout my fulltime law studies, have progressed into a Paralegal role. Throughout my time in Admin I have been exposed to each area of law at Murdochs, which has greatly widened my understanding and appreciation for the different aspects of legal work. While a Paralegal, I have very much enjoyed building on my professional skills and getting exposure to a greater depth of law. I have felt very encouraged, supported and trusted in my professional contributions to Murdochs. Not only has Murdochs had a great impact on my professional development, but the culture and energy is also what makes it a fantastic workplace. I really enjoy coming to work and am grateful to be surrounded by people who ‘make people’s lives better’.“
