Yufei Liao
PARTNER, CORPORATE, BEIJING
"I joined Clifford Chance immediately after graduation - I studied my Bachelor of Law at Peking University and an LLM at Tsinghua University. I undertook the two-year training period in Beijing which was mainly within our Capital Markets group."
Latifah Sat
ASSOCIATE, LITIGATION & DISPUTE RESOLUTION, HONG KONG
"While I studied law at Oxford University, I knew that I wanted to try something outside of law before applying for training contracts. I was fortunate to secure a role at a think tank in Hong Kong where I focused on land and housing policy research."
Damian Bachor
ASSOCIATE, SYDNEY
"I always wanted to develop my legal career internationally, and what was particularly attractive about Clifford Chance's graduate program was that graduates are offered a 6-month international secondment to one of the 33 offices in its global network. I was also impressed by the firm's outstanding work in progressing inclusion and diversity."
Sae Kawakami
QUALIFIED LAWYER , GLOBAL FINANCIAL MARKETS, TOKYO
"While working in the Tokyo office as a vacation scheme student, I was impressed by the intelligence of the lawyers and their ability to find solutions to complex legal and commercial issues. "
Meg Green
ASSOCIATE, SYDNEY
"I really enjoyed my clerkship as I felt I got to really experience the firm and what it would be like to work there. Everyone was very honest and open about their experiences and happy to share their time to speak with me about any questions I had."
Natasha Kim
ASSOCIATE, CORPORATE, SINGAPORE
"Looking back on my training contract journey, I’m grateful for the opportunity to have experienced life as a junior lawyer in four different practice areas."
