What they say

At Clayton Utz, you will experience a work environment in which individuality is embraced and innovation is actively encouraged.

Progressive and dynamic, Clayton Utz is very much its own firm, where people are valued for who they are and what they contribute. Our people come from a diverse range of backgrounds and bring with them different experiences, which is part of what makes Clayton Utz an exciting place to work. It’s a firm where you can choose the career path that’s right for you.

Clayton Utz is also committed to giving back to the community. Through our extensive Pro Bono program and our community volunteering opportunities, you will have a chance to enjoy some richly rewarding experiences that will add a new dimension to your working life.

We understand that our people have families and a life outside work. We support our employees in maintaining a balanced lifestyle and provide a range of sporting and social programs for employees. These include social functions, after-work drinks, sporting activities and community service opportunities.

What we say

Clutz gets a tough run on FS mainly because it’s an easy target – it has been embroiled in highly publicised, protracted litigation three times over the last couple of years. It also lost a major chunk of its partnership to A&O and recently affirmed its focus on the Australian market, rather than the Asia-Pacific like its competitors. We think the worst of the A&O and litigation hangover has probably now passed and things are looking generally better at Clutz. However, questions remain in relation to its treatment of women in the workplace. Juniors looking for international exposure should keep a close eye on the firm’s lack of overseas offices.
