Connolly Suthers has a long history of employing graduates from Townsville’s James Cook University.

We believe that by supporting Townsville’s northern university, the firm supports its graduates, most of whom have been born and bred in this part of the world. We see this as a way of supporting our local community. This means these young people already know the north, they know its industries and they know the people.

At Connolly Suthers, we seek to hire people who share our dedication to our clients, enthusiasm for hard-fought cases, and desire for intellectual challenge.
