ACCEPT is an industry leading insight day for LGBTQ+ students interested in a career in commercial law. You must be eligible for SPARK or our Training Contract to apply. To find out more about the event, please watch this video. Please note you can only apply to either ELEVATE, ACCEPT or Black in Law. You cannot apply for more than one of these.
Date: Wednesday 13th November 2024
Time: 10:00-17:00 (GMT)
Location: Clifford Chance London, 10 Upper Bank Street, E14 5JJ
During the event, you will hear from senior LGBTQ+ role models and guest speakers, hearing first-hand experiences that celebrate bringing your authentic self to work. You'll receive exposure to our business, receive practical tips to build confidence, advice on our application process, and hear inspiring stories from Clifford Chance LGBTQ+ employees. You'll also get a chance to network with like-minded individuals and firm representatives, including members of our internal LGBTQ+ action group (ARCUS), the Early Talent team, and lawyers from across the firm who all share a passion for inclusion. In addition to skills sessions and interactive workshops designed to support you in our wider recruitment process, we will discuss the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ lawyers at Clifford Chance, openly share experiences and discuss challenges the community faces. Please apply if this sounds like it could help you on your journey into commercial law.
Application Process: Our insight days are key pipeline events for our Training Contract and SPARK, so if you are offered a place to join us for the day you are definitely on the right track! With this in mind we require you to complete and pass the Watson Glaser test as part of your insight day application. You'll only be able to take the test once this recruitment cycle so we recommend you take the necessary time to practice as this may impact your SPARK or Training Contract application. If you pass the test you will not need to complete it again this recruitment cycle. The content of our insight days have been carefully constructed to offer unique insights into our work and culture at Clifford Chance and we look forward to sharing this with you.
We would recommend not applying for a London or Middle East Training Contract, Middle East Summer Vacation Scheme or SPARK until you have found out the outcome of your application for this insight day, as if you are invited, you will have a lot more insights to add to your application.
