What our people say about us

I chose to work at LBW because of the support network and encouragement that it offers to employees to achieve their goals. LBW also have a diverse client base and opportunities to develop knowledge in specific industries.
My role at LBW changed in the 2019 financial year after I returned from maternity leave to work on a part time basis. LBW have been very flexible with my work hours and have allowed an easy transition back into the workforce. During my maternity leave, there was no pressure to return to work and they were able to accommodate my needs as much as possible (I returned one day per week which has increased over time to 3 days per week).
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and going to the gym. Work-life balance is important to me and working at LBW has enabled me to maintain this balance.

In February 2015 I finished my Bachelor of Commerce/Laws from Deakin University. It was at this time I started working full time and began working in both the superannuation and accounting teams. In November 2016 I completed my Practical legal training course with Leo Cussens and was subsequently admitted as an Australian Lawyer in May 2018.
I have now worked at LBW for over 10 years and it continues to be a great place to work - everyone is extremely friendly; everyone is willing to lend a hand and the firm prides itself superior client service. In my spare time I enjoy going to the gym and spending time with family and friends.
