Based in Australia, Minter Ellison (ME) is the largest law firm in Asia and the 15th largest law firm in the world.

As a firm, ME is committed to the work/life balance and the strength of this commitment was recognised recently when the firm received a Rising Star award in the 2004 National Work & Family Awards, organised by the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Business Council of Australia. The award, which recognises ‘the most improved work and family organisation’ in Australia, highlights the sustained efforts made in the staff benefits programme, including flexible work conditions, parental/elder/child care programmes and information, yoga, massage, gym member-ships and health and well-being seminars.
