Shine Lawyers: A place for you. It means more here.

At Shine, purpose really matters.

• It’s our clients, who summon the courage to stand up to injustice.
• It’s the communities we are part of and support every day.
• It’s our team, who champion what’s right and make this place what it is.

We’re an ASX-listed organisation, and we've been standing up for the rights of everyday Australians for more than 45 years. We’ve achieved a lot but you’ll find no airs and graces here. We’re humble yet relentless. We don’t pretend to be anything other than ourselves. And together, we’ve created a place for you to thrive.

Here are some of the things we hope you’ll love about working with us:

• Connect and be you: Get the benefits you need, and work with truly authentic people. Enjoy the security of a large, well-established firm that treats you as a person, not a number.
• Challenge and be challenged: We’re not here for “easy”. We want you to take your place at Shine and make a real impact. Question and challenge - that’s how we grow.
• Achieve and grow: Start your Shine journey with our in-house learning programs, where you’ll find immediate connection and be set up for success. You will be provided real opportunities to step up and grow - within your role and beyond.
