Since 2003, the firm has been acknowledged as one of the best organisations for women to work for in Australia. Now three years on, with one of the highest female partner percentages in Australia, the firm's commitment to developing the careers of female employees is again recognised for good reason.

National Managing Partner John Davis said, "We've long believed that providing a positive environment for our female staff and good work life balance is simply sensible business practice - something that benefits our staff, our firm and our clients".

Yvette Boulos, a Senior Associate in the firm's Sydney Office, said, "I really appreciate the way Sparke Helmore encourages and promotes women yet still recognises that it's important to have a family. The firm combines a flexible approach that supports women returning to work after having children, while still encouraging their development."
