Pros & Cons
The best there is. You know where you stand with people here. If you come into the firm eager to learn and apply yourself to the work, everyone will invest in you.
As a graduate, I am given the opportunity to get involved in lots of really interesting, high-profile matters.
The partners really care about the people in their team and I have felt supported and accepted throughout my experience at the firm.
The support system at the firm helps with this quite a lot. People are able to maintain a great work-life balance as long as they communicate well.
Diversity is a strong factor at Clayton Utz. It is embraced throughout the firm, and everyone is welcoming of differing backgrounds and opinions.
The hours can be (very) long during busy periods and there can be limited flexibility during those times.
Remuneration could be better.
They could improve the office snacks.
The work demands.
They provide so much training, almost too much.

There are generally good promotion opportunities, but this sometimes depends on what team you're in and whether there is capacity to promote.
The best there is. You know where you stand with people here. If you come into the firm eager to learn and apply yourself, everyone will invest in you.
The firm has a strong commitment to diversity... gender, LGBT+, and ethnic minority committees to be a part of, generous maternity/paternity leave policies.
My direct managers are incredible. They teach as they want to be taught and encourage curiosity that helps those who want to learn become fantastic lawyers.
The CU Sydney offices are really nice, located in the CBD... Most offices are set up in configurations with two desks, so as a grad you are usually sharing with one other person.
