Business Outlook

Pros

Good entrance into the job-secure insurance / insurance law market Opportunities to learn from talented lawyers Central CBD location Opportunities for growth in a small team / small(er) company (at least its APAC branch) Opportunities to work on international files and/or work for overseas offices and/or introductions to large insurer clients

Cons

Expansion into Australian market has been full of growing pains Understaffed - growing pains given the disconnect between the insurance work available and lack of skilled practitioners Technology is below the industry standard, and at times, somewhat laughable
