Every year ALPMA conducts a Salary and HR Issues Survey of Australian law firms. This year, 300 law firms (representing 9,700 staff) participated in our Australian survey, making it the most comprehensive, independent HR and remuneration study across all roles (including actual salaries paid) within the Australian legal industry. Join fellow ALPMA members in Perth to discuss the key findings of the 2023 survey.
Our panelists will provide an insightful overview of the current National and WA recruitment market with a round table discussion on the pertinent HR and Remuneration challenges we are all facing in Perth.
