SydneySydney continues to remain a popular destination for overseas and interstate lawyers. Sydney's popularity with lawyers is mainly due to its unique combination of lifestyle and work quality.
Home to major international and national law firms, Sydney offers private practice lawyers first-class work across a broad range of areas. The presence of multinational organisations ensures that high-quality work is available to firms, and presents an increasing number of opportunities for lawyers looking to move in-house.
Sydney firms continue to remain interested in overseas and interstate lawyers bringing experience from major firms and offering strong academic background. Returning lawyers offering both local and overseas experience are always in demand.
Sydney’s fast-paced 'corporate' feel is balanced by world-famous beaches, cosmopolitan lifestyle and continuous entertainment.
Salaries in Sydney are higher than in other states, reflecting a higher cost of living and accommodation. Please see our Salary Survey for further information about current market salaries.

Whilst most firms are located in the city, many people live further out in the suburbs or close to one of Sydney’s many beaches and commute with ease to work.
