Please comment on your company's office space, location and facilities. And while we're at it, please tell us a little about the dress code.
Dress code is usually suit/business shirt and nice chinos. Casual Fridays are a bit more team-dependent. The offices are lovely, with great amenities and our own subsidised barista.

The office is in a convenient location in the CBD, close to public transport. Our office has views in every direction and lots of informal breakout spaces in the office. The dress code is flexible and varies by team and day of the week. The clothes people choose to wear to work range from smart casual to full corporate attire.

Convenient with a great in-house cafe and catering! There is a gym just across the road and the building itself has free pilates/cycle sessions during lunchtime which makes it easier to get some movement into your day.

It has a nice view and desk space is ample. The cafeteria serves great coffee (at a low price), and there are change rooms/showers in the end-of-trip facilities which is helpful. Dress code is team dependent - my team tends to be more formal than some others skipping on Casual Fridays, but I notice some other teams dress casually any day of the week.

Fresh and new, very comfortable.

The office space, location and facilities are excellent. However, we do not get gym access which is not ideal.

Top of market facilities and locations.

Office is great, as are location and facilities. Dress code is entirely team dependent. The employment team is more casual than other teams.

Right near Pitt Street Mall (so shopping is a bonus)! HSF's offices are really nice and have fantastic views of the city and water (depending which side of the building you sit). The subsidised cafe is also a massive plus!

Great location, really good cafe and building facilities. Dress code depends on the team. Corporate is more formal, other teams are smart casual if there are no client meetings.

Office space is great, and open plan. Nice new offices at Elizabeth Quay in Perth, central but also when you're in the lobby you truly feel away from the office and can go for a run along the river or to a local cafe/bar. Dress code is dress for your day. Most people dress for work, but Friday's are casual Fridays.

Brand new offices at 80 Collins. Absolutely incredible.

It is very nice, we moved in March 2023 - the dress code could be a bit more flexible

The offices are very nice, however there is not as much room as the old building. As a result, there is sometimes a shortage of desks for paralegals and clerks. The office is very nice however and located near the Quay so it is easy to access the city and public transport. The dress code depends on what is on, so if there is a client meeting then formal is expected, otherwise anything goes.

Brand new, very nice! Dress code is very relaxed.

Brand new office fitout at One the Esplanade that looks over Elizabeth Quay and a quick 200m walk from the train station or city of Perth parking lot.
Graduate, Perth - 08 Nov 2023
The office is located in the new 1 The Esplanade Building on Elizabeth Quay. It is beautiful.

Location is in townhall so close to other facilities. The office itself is modern and central.

The office is fine. We are hot-desking, but everyone has their space that they will generally sit in. The facilities are fine as well. The dress code is flexible. If there is going to be any client or court interaction it is expected we are dressed professionally, but otherwise people are dressed smart-casual.
Solicitor, Sydney - 07 Nov 2023
The location, client floor, tech, meeting rooms and other amenities are great and the internal cafe is excellent. The open-plan office structure and hot-desking is very inconvenient and distracting but unfortunately it looks like it's here to stay post-COVID. The dress code is very relaxed -- most people only wear a suit if meeting a client or going to court. Other firms I have visited feel very uptight by comparison.
