Diverse recruitment practices, lots of firm funded events, committees to join.

The firm makes a conscious effort to hire people from diverse backgrounds, with a particular focus on gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and low socio-economic backgrounds.

Clayton Utz has a strong diversity and inclusion ethos which is evident throughout the firm from the leadership team to the junior lawyers. Everyone is welcomed and celebrated.

I believe they are extremely committed but I don't want to comment to highly as I myself am not engaged enough in the options the firm gives individuals.

There's definitely a push to be seen as a firm that cares about diversity (eg there are gender, LGBT+ and ethnic minority committees to be a part of, generous maternity/paternity leave policies, Indigenous hiring pathways) but how much that trickles through to hiring decisions, promotion decisions and pay decisions is unclear. Some partners are really onto it and are very supportive of their teams.

Diversity is a strong factor at Clayton Utz. It is embraces all throughout the firm and every person at the firm is welcoming of differing backgrounds and opinions. There are always healthy discussions and evaluations which allow us to move forward.

Firm holds many events and sessions on the importance of such things.
Lawyer, Melbourne - 15 Jul 2024
I think the firm is pretty good about this in terms of iniatives and committees but diversity is still lacking susbtantially at the senior level.
Graduate, Sydney - 12 Jul 2024
Firm has good diversity.
Graduate, Sydney - 12 Jul 2024
I would like to see more diversity in the partnership.
I understand that the firm is heavily investing in parental leave, however, given the ageing population, I think carers leave (for elderly parents and relatives) will become just as important as maternity leave.
Graduate, Sydney - 10 Dec 2023
Very good, both the partnership and employees are highly represented by women, ethnic minorities and the LGBTIQA+ communities.
Graduate, Sydney - 10 Nov 2023
Diversity with respect to women is great. Ethnic minorities is not great and this is an area for improvement, namely Indigenous Australians. My understanding is that the LGBTIQA+ initiatives are good.
Graduate, Melbourne - 10 Nov 2023
They are trying which is obvious in the new graduate intakes but at the more senior level it is greatly lacking.
Graduate, Canberra - 27 Oct 2023
OK - as a young queer person I feel pretty accepted. Can't really speak to cultural diversity but I know there are some issues with it in particular teams.
