‘Collegiate’ AGS a great place to work
THE AUSTRALIAN Government Solicitor (AGS), while operating in a “highly competitive environment”, is still a relatively low pressure place to work, AGS’s national practice manager
THE AUSTRALIAN Government Solicitor (AGS), while operating in a “highly competitive environment”, is still a relatively low pressure place to work, AGS’s national practice manager (corporate), John Scala, told Lawyers Weekly this week.
Yet it retains its own individual cultural identity, not as pressured as many firms, said Scala. Among other differences, he cited the belief among AGS lawyers that their workplace isn’t as hierarchical as others.
“Although I know some private firms work as a team, too, the history of the associate versus senior associate levels in the firm probably creates a kind of cultural divide. I think in that sense the AGS has a more collegiate atmosphere,” he was quoted as saying.
