  • Celebrating Clayton Utz We Have Undergone Many Changes Since Then
    CELEBRATING Clayton Utz We have undergone many changes since then. However the essence of Clayton Utz, expressed in the personal qualities of our founding father George Robert Nichols, remains very much the same. Among his many virtues, Nichols was known for his legal astuteness, his passion for justice, and his desire to improve his community. These are qualities for which Clayton Utz is still known, and it is with great pride that we reflect on the contribution that George Robert Nichols and the individuals who followed in his footsteps have made in making Clayton Utz the firm we are today. In an increasingly competitive legal market, Clayton Utz consistently stands out for the quality of our legal work and our people. Our commitment to the community is also an important part of who we are, and we are proud of our Community Connect program which reaches out to hundreds of individuals and organisations across the country through pro bono legal work, financial assistance through grants, and volunteering. We thank our people for their ongoing support of the program, and for the investment they have made and continue to make in our firm. In celebrating 175 years of legal service to the Australian community, One hundred and seventy five years ago, the we also acknowledge the enormous contribution of the many people who over the years have helped to build the Clayton Utz community. foundations were laid for what today is one From a one-man firm in colonial Sydney, we are now a truly national of Australia’s greatest law firms - our firm, firm with 216 partners and over 950 lawyers in six offices around Australia, servicing the needs of our many valued and loyal clients whenever - and wherever - they are doing business.
