Legal skills training for lawyers
You will have access to the variety of local educational resources available in our Italian offices that combine with those provided regionally and globally by the Clifford Chance Academy to form an integrated system of legal skills training.
If you are a junior lawyer or intern, you will be attending legal induction courses organised both locally and globally. For more senior lawyers, the Firm constantly offers "hot topic" workshops and seminars on specific legal subjects, practice area-related.
Tech Academy
Our global Tech Academy is a technology focused element of the firm's central learning and development function, the Clifford Chance Academy, which is dedicated to the Technology space. The Tech Academy provides our people with online training and resources and a global programme of face to face workshops, ensuring we remain on top of the latest technology trends and issues our clients are facing.
International and client secondments
As you develop within the firm, you may decide you want to spend a period of time on secondment to one of our other offices and enhance your knowledge in a particular area or type of work. If you are a lawyer, you may also get the opportunity to go on a temporary assignment to a client.
We value both forms of secondment, not just as a means of strengthening our relationships with other offices of the firm and with our clients, but also for the different dimension they bring to your experience, enriching both your own career and benefiting the firm itself.
