Pure Potential

Clyde & Co.

Clyde & Co is a leading international law firm delivering a full range of corporate and commercial legal services from 18 offices located around the world.

Our history in the insurance and reinsurance industry means our expertise here is still unrivalled. We also have particular strength in aviation and aerospace; energy, trade and commodities and shipping transport and logistics. Our dispute resolution and international arbitration practice is world-class, and we also field leading experts in corporate and commercial law, EC and competition, employment and real estate.

Clyde & Co is a truly entrepreneurial firm, always seeking new opportunities and setting new standards in client service. Our unique culture has helped make us the leading international firm that we are today - based on our integrity, our enjoyment of our work and the spirit of adventure that runs through everything we do. For our trainees, it's an exciting and inspiring environment in which they are both supported and challenged to realise their full potential.

Our approach and our business objectives are all driven by our four core values:

Entrepreneurial

This is often defined by our spirit of adventure and the fact that we are not afraid to do business in jurisdictions not entered by other City firms. We look to do things differently and gain competitive advantage for our clients; innovative thinking that led to us being awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise in 2007.

Commercial problem solving

Our success in providing the best commercial solutions to our clients comes from a passion to get to know their business inside out. We then marry this expert knowledge with our legal skills to anticipate their needs and provide tailored solutions. We often provide the right advice before clients even know they need it!

Excellence

We are recognised as experts in our fields, not just as a firm but as individual lawyers too. We can offer insightful and innovative solutions but they are only worthwhile if executed flawlessly – so that's what we do.

Freedom to be individual

Our success comes from our people. And it is our diversity of background and thinking that contributes to this. We value differing views and approaches as by seeing things from all angles we find the best approach. There is no such thing as a Clyde & Co type.

We also place great importance on ensuring that we contribute to the communities in which we live and work. We have a long tradition of involvement in pro bono work with our lawyers using their skills in a wide variety of settings from free legal advice clinics to radio phone-ins. Our people are also involved in many activities outside legal advice such as partnering with schools to offer support with reading and numeracy, and fund-raising for the firm's chosen charities.

In the words of the LEX 100 – "Clyde & Co is not your average City firm". Please go to the graduate page on the Clyde and Co website for more information.
