Who we are and what makes us unique?
More than 40 years ago, HopgoodGanim was founded by two great friends with a focus on commercial litigation and family law. Today, HopgoodGanim is a large and fully integrated national law firm offering solutions to commercial problems across the full spectrum of legal services. We continue to house one of Australia’s largest and most well regarded family and relationship law practices.
You may have asked yourself what makes HopgoodGanim different to any other firm? We believe it is the close relationships we have with our clients and each other. We do our very best work when we know our clients personally and we know their businesses inside and out. Inside our firm, people genuinely like each other, refer to each other as friends and work collaboratively to achieve the best outcomes possible for our clients.
The culture of the firm (For example, social aspects, sport opportunity and values)
HopgoodGanim enjoys a reputation as a place where people love to come to work. We describe our culture as ‘The HG Way’ and central to this is a theme of ‘Business Mateship’. Business Mateship was a phrase we coined many years ago to capture the culture of friendship created by our founding partners and to describe how the people of HopgoodGanim, our clients and other stakeholders come together and interact. That is, we believe in treating each other, and our clients, as we would treat our friends.
We’re looking for graduate lawyers who will thrive in our relationship culture. Your training will see you in front of clients most days of the week. Being able to connect and form a positive and professional relationship with colleagues and clients is really important. While good results at university are highly regarded, the ability to understand commercial problems is equally as important in the people who join our team. Commerciality is something that we train for, but we also look for graduate lawyers who are passionate about learning about an industry or market sector. Hand in hand with our relationship culture is the importance of delivering an exceptional client experience consistently. Every single member of the HopgoodGanim team has a role to play in what our clients experience when they work with us and our graduate lawyers are no exception to this.
The future of the legal profession is exciting. Our graduate lawyers will shape the future of this firm, the services we deliver, how we deliver them and how we work, so we’re looking for people who are excited by the changes our profession is undergoing and who are ready to be a part of this change process with us.
