What is the office culture like?
Our aim is to be friendly, informal, supportive, practical, efficient and business like. Responsibility and initiative are encouraged. Trainees are a valued part of the team from their first day.
Caring for our community The firm believes that in addition to providing a highly professional service and nurturing its staff, it has an obligation towards the wider community. Clyde & Co staff have demonstrated a longstanding commitment to pro bono and community work. The firm has a global programme which is an important part of who we are and the values on which we build our business. We work to locate projects that will put our skills and expertise to good use and will bring many benefits to our local communities. In 2013, the Hong Kong office formed a Community Council. There are two sub-committees under the Council - the Charities Committee and the Environment Committee. The Charities committee is tasked with selecting community projects for the Council’s endorsement and running the projects. The current two key themes are “Inspiring Young Lives” and “Access to Justice”, which are in line with our firm’s global initiatives. The environment committee is tasked with formulating and implementing the firm’s environmental conservation policy.
Our Hong Kong Charities Committee presented our first-ever Charity Musical Evening in November 2016 and Charity Bake Sale in June 2017. With everyone’s help we were able to raise an impressive amount for our two charity partners Sailability Hong Kong and InspiringHK Sports Foundation. Starting from 2016, we participated in a physically challenging local charitable hiking event, ‘Green Power Hike’. For the previous two years, our office sent teams to take part in the 25km and 10km races under the Corporation / Organisation Cup. All teams finished the hike with amazing results. In recognition of our donation, we had also been given the Outstanding Green Award. In Feb 2017, we are delighted to have been awarded the ‘Caring Company Logo’ by the Hong Kong Council of Social Services. The Clyde & Co Hong Kong Office has been presented this award in recognition for their commitment to Caring for the Community, Caring for Employees and Caring for the Environment.
