Business Development and Marketing Coordinators

Good people. Good work. Great opportunities.

At McCullough Robertson, we know it’s who you work with that makes all the difference, and we pride ourselves on always employing approachable, down-to-earth and talented people.

As a commercial law firm, we work together to support high calibre international and national clients with complex and meaningful work.  Work that challenges you, makes a difference and allows you to be the best in your field.

While we expect you to help make a difference for our clients, we will always support our employees to perform, grow and succeed, including through extensive training and career development, as well as by providing opportunities to contribute to team and firm-wide goals.

With a national team of over 400 staff located in Brisbane, Sydney, and Canberra, McCullough Robertson is a big firm, without the attitude.
