At Clifford Chance, we embrace a learning culture, where individuals are supported in their pursuit of opportunities for their professional and personal development. The Clifford Chance Academy provides classroom and online training for all of our people. The Academy offers a wide range of classroom and online legal and business skills training to lawyers and business services staff of all levels of experience. We are focused on aligning our learning and development programmes with our vision and strategy. This means regularly reviewing the full suite of programmes currently provided, including technical, commercial and soft skills development to ensure they support the firm's priorities.

Our courses help our people develop consistently excellent legal, business and commercial skills, which will assist us in meeting our goals, and be of life-long benefit to the individuals who participate in them. Courses are highly interactive and practical, delivered by expert trainers and specifically tailored to Clifford Chance.

We attach great importance to high-quality technical training for our lawyers, but our legal perspectives must be married with a sharp business focus. This depends on developing a stronger understanding of clients' operating environments. Hence, we have expanded programmes that support relationship-building, business development, management and sector-focussed workshops.

Many of our associates have the opportunity to spend time on secondment at one of our international offices or at one of our clients.

Secondments allow you to gain valuable experiences and share working life with overseas colleagues or clients, thereby deepening relationships and strengthening bonds. You will be involved in their everyday work and discover either the elements of working in another jurisdiction or life as a client. It is an extremely rich experience that will bring you an inside view of how we develop local expertise and international standards. Moreover, in the case of international secondments, it is the chance to spend time in another country.
