INTRODUCTION

Imagine a lifestyle devoid of traffic jams, pollution, three hour commutes to the office and overpriced/non-existent car parking..

Canberra is a picturesque twentieth century cornucopia of symmetry and intrigue, laid around the banks of Lake Burley Griffin. In Civic, on the northern side of the lake are the shops, businesses and university, while Parliamentary and other administrative buildings are located to the south of the lake. All of which are surrounded by charming satellite towns. Civic is also the center of Canberra 's nightlife which, contrary to popular reputation, is surprising vivacious.

THINGS TO DO

Despite the Capital's laid-back persona, it presents a myriad of sights, events and activities, appealing to all. Canberra 's landscape is highlighted by the Australian National Botanic Gardens, the National Gallery of Australia , the National Portrait Gallery and Parliament House, and permits a scope of sporting activities rarely found within such a tight proximity. Cycling, swimming, skiing, bushwalking, watersports and cruising are always appealing proposals, and annual events such as the Canberra Festival, National Folk Festival and Floriade Festival guarantee to consistently keep both tourists and locals alike entertained.

LAW FIRMS/INDUSTRY

In the realms of legal status, Canberra presents a fiercely competitive market and a superior quality and variety of work. There exists a community of law firms consisting of those of independent influence, those of national presence and those of a specialized or boutique attraction. Due predominantly to location, a significant number of these firms manage Government clients, but private, blue-chip clients are also plentiful, with the majority of Canberra practices possessing a client base that is a combination of public and private sector.

The nature of these firms, reflective of the lifestyle, is such that there exists a prevalent people-oriented culture and attention to detail. The work offered is challenging, but the environments indoors are complemented by the external serenity of the Canberra backdrop. The result is a true lifestyle opportunity.
