Thank-you to our Event Sponsors
Clayton Utz is one of Australia’s largest and most successful law firms, with a workforce of almost
2,000 people based in six offices around the country.
Known for our ability to handle complex and innovative deals, we have advised on some of the most
significant transactions and projects being undertaken in Australia and internationally.
Our success depends on our people, which is why Clayton Utz is committed to being an employer that supports and
encourages the personal and professional development of all its staff. We are particularly proud to have achieved our
first EOWA Employer of Choice for Women citation in 2007 in recognition of our efforts to foster a productive and
supportive working environment for women.
With women accounting for around 63 percent of our national workforce, we understand the importance of an
equal opportunity environment. We offer a range of benefits to our female employees including paid parental
leave, in-house networking groups, a Companion program for women on maternity leave, access to childcare and
eldercare referral networks and flexible working arrangements, including job sharing.
Clayton Utz is also active in the community through our Community Connect program. In 2007, the Clayton Utz
Foundation made grants to over 38 charities and organisations and our people were involved in a range of volunteer
community activities. We are particularly proud of our Pro Bono program, which over the last 10 years has provided
more than 200,000 hours of free legal assistance to hundreds of individuals and organisations.
