Clayton Utz has been named among the 10 leading pro bono firms in the world in the inaugural Who's Who Legal Global Pro Bono Survey. Clutz was the only Australian firm on the list.

The survey recognises firms that are leading the way in their pro bono contributions, level of participation and efforts to institutionalise pro bono work.

In the 2013 financial year, Clayton Utz provided 42,985 hours of pro bono legal services and exceeded the National Pro Bono Resource Centre's aspirational target of at least 35 hours per lawyer per year in all six of the firm’s Australian offices during FY2013.

Other firms in the top 10 were U.S. international firms WilmerHale, White & Case, Vinson & Elkins, Sidley Austin, Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe, Kirkland & Ellis and DLA Piper; Mexican firm Von Wobeser y Sierra, and South Korean firm Kim & Chang.
