Clayton Utz is a member of Lex Mundi ("The Law of the World"), which is the world's leading association of independent law firms, with more than 146 members, 370 offices and 12,000 lawyers in over 83 countries.

Established in 1989, Lex Mundi is an ideal, cost-effective way for members to serve the needs of their clients, in virtually every major business center of the world.

Membership in Lex Mundi is highly selective. Members are chosen as exclusive representatives of their jurisdiction (country, state or province), based on the depth of their practice and reputation as a leader in the local community. Lex Mundi members are therefore among the leading law firms in their jurisdictions and offer a full range of legal services - from traditional to emerging business markets.

Clayton Utz joined Lex Mundi in 1989. Although Lex Mundi's policy is to have a separate member for each jurisdiction (eg. in Canada there are different members in each province), Clayton Utz is the only Lex Mundi member in Australia.

The purpose of Lex Mundi is to provide a professional forum for the exchange of information about legal developments, and local and global practices. It also facilitates direct communication among members, improving their ability to service clients’ individual needs.
