Community

The law is what we do, but our community is part of who we are.

We understand that we are part of the wider Australian community and legal profession, and we have set serious goals to assist us in addressing disadvantage and support access to justice in the communities in which we live and work.

Partners and employees have direct involvement with charities across Australia by volunteering and fundraising through Community Connect. This has enabled us to participate in numerous activities, with our Community Partners, including climbing mountains with children with cerebral palsy, holding mock job interviews in schools and setting up mobile libraries for people living on the streets.  We have financially supported our charity partners through the Clayton Utz Foundation, distributing over $13.3 million since 2003.

We are committed, through our Reconciliation Action Plan, to working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People to create positive and lasting change, and to reducing inequality between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians in the areas of access to justice, education and access to support services. 

We promote Environmental Sustainability through initiatives that assist us to understand our impacts and incorporate sustainability into our decision-making.
