Art in the City The Clyde & Co Art Awards is an annual community project. This encourages and nurtures new talent, supporting art students as they graduate by showcasing their work. Each artist selected is awarded a cash prize, pro bono legal support and business mentoring during the year that their work is on display. Many of our staff have volunteered to participate with this project, either acting as mentors to the artists or providing specific legal advice and training. Our Dubai, Sydney, Singapore and San Francisco offices have recently launched similar art projects.
Not all work We promote regular sports and social events to ensure that people in different parts of the firm have a chance to meet and stay in contact with each other. We currently have cricket, football, golf, rugby, tennis teams and, most recently, a mixed speednet team. These teams are open to everyone in the firm including our future trainees as well as the Vacation Scheme students. The firm also offers a subsidised sports club membership. If you are musical, you can join the firm’s choir or perhaps be part of the Clyde & Co Rock ’n’ Roll Band – WIPlash.
Our charity partnership Each year the firm votes for its charity partner and this year we are working with Together For Short Lives, the leading charity for 53 children’s hospice services across the UK. Each Clyde & Co UK office is twinned with a local hospice. Staff will have the opportunity to volunteer at their local hospices as well as cycling, climbing and trekking to raise vital funds for them.
