As directors of Macrossan & Amiet Solicitors, Caitlin Roberts and Samantha Sticklan prioritise searching for and achieving the ever-illusive luxuries amounting to the perfect work life balance as a woman in law.
“We are represented by a number of talented and committed female directors and solicitors and each member of our team attempts to achieve a work life balance in different ways - the firm tries to support all of our solicitors and staff to achieve this,” explained Caitlin.
Under the direction of both Caitlin and Samantha, the women of Macrossan & Amiet Solicitors strive to thrive within the law sector and often set aside time together outside of the office to continue working towards a golden work life balance and fantastic work environment.
“Some members of our team train and participate in triathlons, some attend the gym or enjoy running, we enjoy spending time with their families and friends and others enjoy reading. We have a firm book club who meet once a month to foster this passion” Caitlin enthused.
“What seems to apply to everyone is that they enjoy getting out in our amazing communities, and participating in local events, and supporting local businesses.”
Caitlin became the firms’ first female director in its over 125-year history in July of 2019 with Samantha following close behind.
“Law has historically been a predominantly male driven profession, however in 2020, 52% of all Queensland solicitors were female, and this percentage is increasing each year as it’s a great profession for women with so many varied practice areas and specialities on offer,” added Samantha.
Now the firm operates out of offices based in Mackay, Airlie Beach and Proserpine to service clients across the state, practising in most areas of law including property, wills & estates, family, personal injury and commercial.
One thing that you may not know about Macrossan & Amiet Solicitors is that in celebration of Macrossan & Amiet Solicitors’ 100th anniversary in 1995, the firm established the Macrossan & Amiet Charitable Foundation.
“Since the initial donation by the firm of $100,000, the foundation has grown through generous donations by members of our community, and now holds capital in excess of $1.7 million,” Caitlin noted.
“It’s managed by 10 independent trustees, 5 of whom are women, and since 1995, the Macrossan & Amiet Charitable Foundation has donated over $1.1 million to local charities!”
