The benefits of working at Mellor Olsson
Interview with Con Traianos and Philip Page
"Mellor Olsson engenders a natural and unforced culture," according to Partner, Philip Page, "and in this friendly and co-operative environment we achieve the best, most positive outcomes for all parties. That’s what makes us different."

"It is, to coin a phrase, a win/win for everyone. Our lawyers get a solid career path, experience, training and assistance in dealing with large clients at a senior level. Mellor Olsson, as an organisation, gets the very best practitioners in a range of areas. We get longevity. We enjoy a good deal of loyalty to the firm and support for what the firm stands for across all levels. We also get unbridled enthusiasm. We get plenty of that." He laughed quietly to himself before adding, "I ask you, what more could you want?"

"I agree," says Partner, Con Traianos. "Here at Mellor Olsson we are different, but, we are very proud of that difference. We have a forward-thinking and progressive culture which somehow embraces both a sense of history, and the notion that we have in place all the very latest advances in communication and information management technology. We have clients who are still ‘blown away’ with the idea that we quite often will visit them at their own premises so as to get a much more holistic and well-rounded viewpoint of their needs and circumstances. On the other hand, clients are increasingly taking advantage of our investment in new technology so as to communicate with us electronically."

"In fact," he says, "as an example, we have one of the most technologically advanced debt recovery infrastructures in place. In that respect we stand out from our competitors. The old-fashioned task of recovering debts on behalf of our clients has been streamlined and made more viable with the application of some of today’s most innovative technology."

Philip Page concluded the conversation by saying, "Mellor Olsson presents as a very different law firm indeed. From Mum’s and Dad’s wills, family law, small business and partnerships, through to dealings with large national and multinational corporations, local, State and Federal government entities, our ethos remains constant. By having a direct and personal relationship with all of our clients, backed by an amazing depth of experience across all areas of the law, we have become what you could call a very fluid entity. Mellor Olsson as an organisation is moving forward, with a singular focus, to become the most progressive law firm in South Australia."
