Equality and diversity matters

At Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr, we value diversity and respect for the individual. We aspire to being a firm where men and women enjoy equal opportunities and treatment in relation to access to work, recruitment, promotion and remuneration, and where diversity is actively encouraged.

Our commitment to being a truly South African law firm is embodied in our transformation policy which underpins our values of respect for the individual and equal opportunity for all our people.

We are one of South Africa's most empowered large law firms and have earned a Level 2 Contributor empowerment rating. We make recruitment, vacation work and bursary decisions based on merit, without regard to race, religion, gender or any other classification.

Our belief is that the best people often come from a variety of backgrounds. What we are really interested in is whether you are capable of becoming a great lawyer with the ability to understand your clients and the empathy to deliver outstanding service.

"Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr is a home for all. Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr houses people from different races, backgrounds and/or cultures. One cannot only say it is empowering people but also the fact that it is building the nation as well, taking into account the contributions/participation the firm has had in the community."
