Clifford Chance is excited to host ELEVATE, an insight day aimed at aspiring lawyers from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. You must be eligible for SPARK or our Training Contract to apply. Please note you can only apply to either ELEVATE, ACCEPT or Black in Law. You cannot apply for more than one of these.
Date: Thursday 14th November 2024
Time: 10:00-17:00 (GMT)
Location: Clifford Chance London, 10 Upper Bank Street, E14 5JJ
The insight day aims to broaden access to the legal profession and open the doors to Clifford Chance to those who might have otherwise not known where to start. We'll provide practical tips to build confidence, offer advice for navigating the SPARK and Training Contract application process, and share inspiring stories from Clifford Chance role models from a variety of backgrounds. You'll also get a chance to network with like-minded individuals and firm representatives, including members of our internal social mobility action group (RISE), the Early Talent team, and lawyers from across the firm who all share a passion for social mobility. From panel sessions to interactive workshops, we hope you'll leave inspired and equipped for success. 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.
