Quality and consistency through collaboration

Australasian Lawyer today announced the winners for the 5-Star Employer of Choice and Sparke Helmore made the list! 

On top of the overall recognition we received, we also had a shout-out as the standout winner, large firm, for Employee experience and wellbeing. As noted in the Australasian Lawyer summary of the accolade, ‘Large firms take a data-led, enterprise-wide approach to employee wellbeing, embedding wellness, fairness and recognition into their people strategies. With resources to scale programs across diverse offices, they implement systems that consistently reinforce engagement and wellbeing at all levels.’ 

Across the month of September, you can see Sparke Helmore featured in the Australasian Lawyer newsletter, showcasing our DEI story.  Four different advertisements will each appear weekly.

Following the nationwide nominations, the Australasian Lawyer’s research team thoroughly reviewed the entries—consisting of both quantitative and qualitative information—to determine the best law firms to work for in Australia. 

The key factors highlighted by positive employee experiences included:

  • Leadership
  • Remuneration
  • Professional development
  • Work-life balance

According to the Australasian Lawyer, ‘The 5-Star Employers of Choice 2025 award breaks new ground by jointly recognising the most outstanding law firms in both countries for the first time. This unified report captures how the region’s leading legal employers are navigating intense competition for talent, growing workloads and shifting workforce expectations while delivering exceptional employee experiences.’
