2024 First Nations Traineeship

Clayton Utz

Confident, Incisive and Engaging

A reputation for standing out. And for being outstanding.

For over 180 years, our confident approach to complex transactions and litigation has seen us grow into Australia’s leading independent law firm.

With a genuine commitment to client service, we are trusted advisers to a range of government departments and agencies, as well as leading Australian and international corporations.

We offer the sharpest legal minds. The clearest advice. And an unshakeable sense of what’s possible.

As an employer in the legal services industry, we strive to be a workplace as diverse as the work that we do. We are acutely aware that First Nations people are under-represented among our employees, and we want our firm to be one of belonging, where aspiring First Nations lawyers feel supported in their ambitions.
