Clifford Gouldson can be a surprising place to work. We like it that way.
You might be surprised to hear the sound of laughter carrying throughout the office. You might be surprised to see the whole office taking morning tea together to chat. You might be surprised to find one of our Directors will be the first person to offer you help whether it’s a legal problem, working the coffee machine or moving furniture.
This is not your traditional law firm.
Understanding what makes Clifford Gouldson different means understanding the principles we consider most important. These are:

This makes us better lawyers and happier people.
We are all evolving
We understand that we change as people and as a firm over time and so to will the Clifford Gouldson Lawyers Manifesto.
