Our people across Australia share what it's like to work at Hall & Wilcox.
Hear from Lawyer Todd Waugh on his five-year career journey with Hall & Wilcox so far. For Todd, what makes the firm a fun place to work is the great work-life balance, social and sporting events, access to learning and development, and working alongside a genuinely happy group of people. In addition to the positive culture, Todd loves the interesting and diverse range of real-world matters he is exposed to and entrusted with.
