Why work for Praeger Ellem Solicitors?
In today’s competitive market, we understand we must provide our staff with a work environment that will foster their professional development yet allow for a healthy work life balance. For this reason we have identified the following key areas that help us to achieve this:
Access to Partners
The Partners of Praeger Ellem each head up our three major divisions; Property & Projects, Corporate & Commercial, and Dispute Resolution & Litigation. Due to this structure, access to advice, assistance or support is readily available.
Culture
Our core values define and mould our company culture. They are:
- Excellence
- Balance
- Knowledge
- Trust
- Teamwork
Every employee at Praeger Ellem is responsible for upholding these values and for making the work environment exciting, challenging, diverse and interactive.
Information Technology
We are committed to providing technology systems that improve our workflow and assist with producing quality work that benefits our employees, the firm as a whole and our clients.
As part of a new recruit’s induction, full training on our systems and software is provided to ensure competence and a successful transition into a new role.
Our People
Working in a small firm means that our people are never just a number on the wall. Each and everyone plays a significant role in the operation of the firm and are hand picked for their skill, experience and ability to integrate into the firm’s culture.
While the backgrounds of our people are diverse they all share a common goal to excel at what they do. For this to be achievable we realise that a team focused environment is critical. Our people are encouraged to communicate effectively with one another, share their knowledge and experiences and most of all, building strong working relationships with each other through trust and integrity.
Performance Management & Professional Development
Praeger Ellem has an intensive and thorough performance management system in place that promotes the professional development of our people. Being a small firm, Partners are highly involved in this process, making them in tune with their people and capable of providing informed guidance and direction. Furthering education through training courses and one-on-one coaching or mentoring is promoted within the firm.
Work Life Balance
Praeger Ellem is serious about work life balance. It is not just preached but practiced too. Flexibility and understanding are instrumental to making this initiative work. We believe that the key to keeping our staff motivated is work life balance. For this reason we are flexible with our work hours, provide staff events such as social club functions or after-work drinks and encourage our staff to become involved in sporting and community activities. |
