It’s no secret that regional businesses have traditionally struggled to draw locals back from the allure of the cities after completing their further education.
Matthew Jones, director of local law firm Jones & Mitchell Legal, believes there has long been a misconception, particularly in the legal profession, that regional firms cannot offer the range or prestige that city firms can. That just isn’t the case, according to Matthew.
Jones & Mitchell Legal practices in a variety of different areas and is often engaged in large complex matters. There are excellent career prospects in the Goulburn Valley that offer a work/life balance that cannot be matched by city firms.
“We are staunch advocates for employing local people and strive to provide a workplace environment that people genuinely want to be a part of,” said director at Jones & Mitchell Legal, Loretta Mitchell.
“When it came time to grow our firm, we were pleased to find a returning local in Marcus Scott who has been an excellent addition to our team.”
After completing Year 12 at Wanganui Secondary College, Marcus moved to Melbourne to complete a Bachelor of Law at Monash University and graduated in 2019, but he was always keen to return home.
“I was fortunate enough to get that opportunity when I joined the team at Jones & Mitchell Legal earlier this year. I couldn’t be happier to again be a part of the Shepparton community and close to my family and friends,” said Marcus.
“I am excited to learn and progress in my career at a workplace I am proud to be a part of. I’m currently looking to purchase my first home and hopefully lower my handicap at the Shepparton Golf Club.”
Jones & Mitchell Legal look forward to growing their business locally and continuing to support their clients.
