Testimonials

Rebecca Castley, Partner
"I had only been admitted as a solicitor for one week when I joined the firm back in 1998.  I obviously still had a lot to learn about being a legal practitioner back then but I think was incredibly fortunate, as a young solicitor, to have been given the opportunity at Mullins Lawyers to work directly with clients on a range of interesting and challenging transactions and development projects. 

I enjoyed being given that responsibility at an early stage of my career, so I could hone my legal skills and build relationships with clients and consultants, and I could do that with the full confidence of knowing that there were experienced senior practitioners in the firm upon whom I could rely to help guide me through.

A lot has changed since then.  I am now a Partner in the Property group and it is so rewarding to now be able to work with young practitioners to help them as they move along their own career path.

The firm has grown substantially since I joined and has enjoyed many successes which I think is due in no small part to a strong set of values and a team of quality people who are dedicated to doing their very best.

Chris Herrald, Solicitor
"Admitted as a solicitor in 2010, I am very fortunate as an early career lawyer to work at Mullins Lawyers.  

Mullins offers excellent development opportunities for early career lawyers by offering not only high quality legal work but also a good level of contact with Partners, a coaching program and regular internal professional development sessions.  Mullins truly does care about my professional and personal development and a clear career path exists.  

Since joining Mullins Lawyers, I have also taken full advantage of the MullinsLifestyle program that Mullins offers as part of its strong commitment to a work/life balance.  I enjoy breakfast every morning, an additional day's leave for my birthday, book club, running group as well as the many other activities and events Mullins offers throughout the year.  Melbourne Cup Day is definitely a favourite!  

I feel exceptionally lucky to work with such a great, fun team of people in a firm that offers me rewarding and satisfying work." 

Matt Bradford, Associate
"My life at Mullins began as an Articled Clerk over four years ago and I'm now an Associate in the Hospitality Group.  Working at Mullins has been a fantastic experience, as I've been exposed to high quality legal matters and been allowed to work quite autonomously, but with guidance always available from senior practitioners whenever it's required.  The depth of work at the firm has allowed me to specialise my practice in areas that I find most interesting – hotels, clubs and sport – which makes my work both enjoyable and satisfying.

However, the main benefit of working at Mullins is that there is genuinely a work/life balance, with plenty of staff benefits and expectations from partners that are more than reasonable.  This balance is probably rare for a large commercial law firm that has such high quality work.  The culture and social side of the workplace make for an enjoyable atmosphere and I feel quite lucky to work with such a great team of people."
