Grow with us

We will give you the opportunity to build a depth of understanding and confidence in your career that will help you to work across cultures and succeed within the wider business environment. Joining us will mean that you are working alongside colleagues who are leaders in their field. You’ll learn from established experts whilst working in a stimulating and challenging commercial environment. One where your unique talents can be developed and make a real impact.

In addition, you will have exceptional opportunities to develop and broaden your skills through individually tailored in-house training and development programmes provided by the firm’s Academy. Our continued investment in our team members to help them reach their full potential is a key part of our global strategy aimed at developing talent and driving continuous innovation for our clients. We want to be at the forefront of the emerging elite group of international law firms.

Life at Clifford Chance is characterised by teamwork and support. 

We'll get you settled into your team quickly and, right from the start, you'll be given responsibility that will challenge and develop you. You'll work closely with your team members, who will provide support and guidance. Ongoing training and development is woven into our culture, and everyone here is encouraged to take responsibility for their own individual development. 

Our regional offices are very modern and situated centrally in their main business districts. Each is fitted with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment to ensure you have all you need to maximise your potential and deliver a first-class service. Each of our regional offices has an active social calendar with planned – and ad hoc – events, ranging from the regional all-firm retreat and the anniversary desert safari, to the annual beach party and charity quiz nights in aid of our varied Volunteering & Pro Bono initiatives. 

Ultimately, what makes our working environment truly unique is the people who work here. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive community that highly values all who work for the firm, whether you're a lawyer or member of our business professionals teams. We believe that our working environment, from top to bottom, will support, encourage and enable you to develop your full potential.

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 as firm 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 stronger understanding of clients' operating environments, so we have expanded programmes that support relationship-building, business development, management and sector focus workshops.
