Life at Steinepreis Paganin
A collaborative, supportive and genuinely enjoyable place to work — where talented people thrive and are recognised for their contribution.
A team that works together
At Steinepreis Paganin, we have built a culture where everyone is valued, supported and genuinely invested in each other's success.
Our one-team structure means there are no silos — you will work across the firm, collaborate with partners directly, and be given real responsibility from day one. We believe the best work comes from people who enjoy where they work and who they work with.
We are guided in all that we do by our values of Growth, Reliability, Excellence, Accountability and Teamwork — values that are lived every day, not just written on a wall.
Learning & Development
We are deeply committed to the ongoing development of our people at every stage of their career.
Training & Professional Development
We invest heavily in the professional development of our people. From technical legal training to leadership and communication skills, we provide structured programs designed to build capability at every level — whether you are a clerk, graduate or senior associate.
Knowledge Sharing
Regular internal seminars, practice group updates and cross-team knowledge sharing sessions ensure that our people stay at the forefront of the law. We foster a culture of intellectual curiosity where ideas and insights are shared openly across the firm.
CPD & Study Support
We support our lawyers in meeting their Continuing Professional Development obligations, and provide financial and study assistance for those undertaking further qualifications. We want our people to keep growing — and we will back them to do it.
Learning Zone
Our dedicated online Learning Zone gives all staff access to a curated library of professional development resources — including legal updates, skills training modules, and guidance materials — available whenever and wherever they need them.
Buddy & Mentor Program
Every new joiner is paired with a buddy and a mentor to help them settle in, understand how things work at the firm, and build confidence early. Our mentors are experienced lawyers committed to helping the next generation grow and succeed.

The Women@Steinpag group support initiatives that recognise the specific ways in which we can provide opportunities for women both within the firm as well as through the offering of mentoring to women entering the profession.
Formed in 2012, the SPCF came about because of a strong desire of the partners and staff to give back to the local community. Through the SPCF we provide financial support to various charitable initiatives in fun and engaging ways to ensure community support.
