Carter Newell is proud to announce that it was named ‘Employer of Choice’ by the Queensland Law Society at the annual President’s Cocktails and Awards function.  

Carter Newell was a finalist alongside two other Queensland firms.    In presenting the award, Megan Mahon, QLS President, made reference to Carter Newell’s strong S.O.L.I.D values, flexible work/life balance and the firm’s long standing commitment and support of staff and in particular staff participating in the Job Placement Disability Employment Network.  

“The team at Carter Newell is extremely honoured to have received this award”, said Paul Hopkins, Senior Partner.  

“We’ll continue to work hard at providing a supportive environment for all staff, doing the little things such as offering flexible work times and looking after individuals, providing a challenging work environment, but one that remembers the need to accommodate work, life and family”, he said.  

The award aims to encourage the efforts of Queensland legal practices to promote diversity of staff and accommodation of staff lifestyle needs, with the judging based on promotions of initiatives that enhance employment or career development opportunities for legal practitioners and initiatives which help balance work and family/life responsibilities.
