Where you start your career can have a massive impact on where you ultimately end up.
Not all career paths are built the same.
- Will you learn the foundational knowledge and skills that set you up for continued growth and success over a lifetime?
- Will you be given the autonomy to explore multiple areas of law over several years, empowering you to make an informed choice about what you ultimately specialise in?
- Will you get exposure to a wide range of senior practitioners, each with unique perspectives and approaches?
- Will you get to work with and be mentored by leading Accredited Specialists and industry-recognised experts?
- Will you gain exposure to using, and assisting in the ongoing development of industry-leading software and technology?
A career at Andreyev Lawyers does not leave these critical outcomes to chance.
Gradutes and starters
For graduates and starters, our Team Experience is designed, from the ground up, to ensure that you quickly develop into a well-rounded, resilient, and highly valuable professional.
From your first day, the path widens with opportunities to work closely with successful clients across many industries. You will be expected to take on the primary carriage of challenging matters with close guidance from some of the best in the business. There is no other path at Andreyev Lawyers.
Mid and senior recruits
For mid and senior-level recruits, our Team Experience will give you the professional autonomy, opportunity for mastery and sense of real purpose that your career has been lacking.
Building on your existing knowledge and skills, we will facilitate and mentor you to the next level in your career. We will break you out of your current narrow rut, and help you get back in touch with why you were attracted to being a lawyer in the first place. Whether that be deepening your relationships with valued clients and our community, or finally achieving the level of specialisation and professional recognition you aspire to.
We will acknowledge the extent of responsibility you take on, and reward you commensurately for your achievements.
See what high performance really looks like
You will join a highly respected team of recognised experts, including two Accredited Specialists in Business Law (via the Law Society of New South Wales), accredited Family Business Advisers, Chartered Tax Advisers, ARITA-accredited insolvency practitioners, and Fellows of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners. Our firm has been recognised as a leading tax firm and Andrew Andreyev has been recognised as a leading tax lawyer 5 years in a row (and 6 in total).
All our experts (except our founder Andrew) commenced their careers at Andreyev Lawyers as graduates. We have a proven track record of taking newly-minted lawyers all the way to the top of their profession.
There are no second-class citizens at AL
Our Business Operations team sits at the core of our Sustainable Business Operating System (SBOS). By joining our Business Operations team as an undergraduate, you will be exposed to life in a busy and growing professional services firm. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring our daily operations run like clockwork. More senior Business Operations team members work closely with their team leaders and our Executive Team to ensure critical business functions are executed to the highest standard, and are continually improving.
At all levels, leadership is encouraged. All team members are expected to participate in the ‘business of law’ and make a meaningful contribution, taking into account their seniority, capabilities and interests.
Although we have been around for over 23 years, we still feel like a start-up! We expect all team members to spend time behind the curtain, building our capability and helping our firm grow.
A paradise for lifelong learners
You will be joining a team of curious learners. We are continually working on our extensive training program. Our lawyers have the opportunity to join structured training that is held three times per week. In addition, we run weekly Socratic discussion groups for tax law, insolvency law and litigation. These sessions get our team together to share knowledge, sharpen our skills and engage in healthy discussion.
We also encourage regular and active participation in external training – whether as a participant or presenter. We operate with an unlimited budget for training and courses that make sense for our personal and professional growth.
One team, multiple locations
We don’t operate in ‘ego silos’. Team collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. At no point will you find yourself up the creek without a paddle. Our workflow structure ensures that the appropriate level of support and guidance is offered to team members at all levels and on all matters.
We encourage team members to travel between our office locations to build deeper connections with colleagues and to build resilience and confidence in our team and our valued partners.
What does a career at Andreyev mean?
A career at Andreyev Lawyers means a lot of things.
Reward for effort.
We reward our team members for the effort they put in. There is no lock-step. The path is clear for those who wish to truly accelerate their career.
We offer programs for ongoing education, team leadership and technical skills, and invest in the professional development of all team members.
It goes without saying that we offer a competitive salary package and opportunities for greater reward based on performance.
All team members have access to health and wellbeing incentives including ergonomic assessments, and the opportunity to participate in the provision of pro bono legal work and charitable causes.
A dynamic and tech-savvy environment.
We are a young friendly team who learn and grow together united by a shared mission to radically reduce the uncertainty and inefficiency faced by the general public in finding the right lawyer for a given problem. We have invested considerable time and effort into creating bespoke IT frameworks and systems, to ensure quality and efficiency at every level.
We have an ongoing commitment to making our systems work for us (and not the other way around!) and all team members have the opportunity to provide input on how our existing systems can be enhanced to better serve our Team and Client Experiences.
All team members can expect a pleasant office environment, comfortable and ergonomic office equipment and the best available hardware to get the job done.
The broadest experience possible, at a full-service commercial firm.
Law is what we do, and we do it well. By joining our team, legal team members will be exposed to a wide range of legal matters, with the opportunity to hone one or more specialty areas. From your first month, you will engage in client-facing legal work and have the opportunity to see matters from start to finish.
As a member of our Business Operations team, you will play a critical role in keeping our firm running smoothly, as well as the opportunity to gather skills, experience and knowledge to take your career wherever it may lead.
Real career progression, limited only by your imagination.
We invest in our existing team and believe in growing our staff by promoting from within. This means a law student starting with us as an administration assistant could one day become a principal at our firm.
We believe each employee falls into one or more of the roles in our Value Matrix. Whether you start as an Operator or an Entrepreneur, we will help you grow through continuous development.
A shared Purpose, Mission, Vision and values.
We promise:
- Autonomy: The freedom to exercise independent thought, and to thereby develop and express creativity, judgement and wisdom (CJW). From a behavioural perspective, this means not looking to others to tell you what to do. Take responsibility for yourself, make your own choices, and take your own direction. When leading others, give them room, lead with context not control.
- Mastery: The experience and training to become very good at something. Look to get really good at what you do. Strive for comprehensive knowledge and skill. Don’t settle for good enough.
- Purpose: A reason to come to work and master an area of knowledge that transcends simply making a living. This involves being part of something bigger than yourself and your own journey. Being part of something that will have a meaningful and lasting impact. Have a clear understanding of why you do what you do. Ensure it aligns with your deeper aspirations and beliefs.
Living in our community
Throughout our firm’s existence, we have built great relationships with clients, referrers and our wider community. We are proud of our team and want to show them off! You are encouraged to meet and work with as many of our clients and referrers as possible and develop your profile as a trusted professional.
By joining our team, you immediately become part of a broad professional network that is rooting for your success and will support you every step of the way.
For our legal team, it means following through on our Great Lawyer Guarantee. For all team members, it means building strong relationships with our clients and valued partners. Our clients come first, not our ego or our profits. To learn more about how we work, who we work with, and our client approach, click here.
