Standing Apart
Doug Jones, Partner - Construction & International Arbitration
I think Clayton Utz is a no-nonsense firm of lawyers focussed not on satisfying the egos of the lawyers involved, but on producing for clients effective commercial outcomes for the issues that concern them.
Kate Jordan, Partner - Media & Telecommunications
We are truly a merit-based firm. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach to our matters or to our people and I think that makes us able to deliver results.
Linda Evans, Partner - Competition
Teams are essentially flat structures where everyone is given responsibility according to their areas of expertise and the level of skills that they have.
Brad Vann, Partner - Banking & Financial Services
We are a very practical commercial, client-focused firm. We are searching for solutions to the client's problems. We are looking at ways that we can do that in the most straightforward, direct way in a very sort of down-to-earth, plain use of language.
Gary Best, Partner - Real Estate
One of the things that has really impressed me at Clayton Utz is the way the partners work together. There is a real common bond in terms of sitting together, partners from all sorts of different parts of the firm, different expert groups, different geographical locations.
Kathy Santikos, Partner - Banking & Financial Services
Clayton Utz is a relatively young player to the top tier and therefore we are never complacent. We are always looking for new approaches to our transactions in order to give our clients a competitive advantage.
