We foster our talent by offering global and local training and development opportunities

We want to build on what you already know, then provide every opportunity to help you reach your full potential.

Teaching is part of the job and a responsibility all our lawyers and business professionals take seriously. There is a shared firm-wide understanding that, no matter the nature of your work or the level of your seniority, you never stop learning.

In this section you will learn more about the training and professional development you'll receive.

We will do our utmost to foster your development by offering you work of the highest calibre, job support and training, leadership, a compensation package commensurate with our demanding standards and an excellent working environment.

Diversity is an essential element of our globally integrated people strategy, with people from different backgrounds, countries, cultures and legal systems helping us to promote an inclusive and thriving business. At Clifford Chance, a person's success is based on merit, and opportunities are available, regardless of their race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, age, gender or background. 

We want everyone, whatever their role, to develop to their fullest potential and contribute their best work to the benefit of the firm and its clients.

In return, we will expect commitment and professionalism from you when dealing with clients and colleagues alike, a willingness to be flexible in the face of the competing demands on your time, and a readiness to strive for excellence in every task that you undertake.

 

Clifford Chance Choice

Clifford Chance Choice is a framework which embraces the changing world of work to support the needs of our people and clients which we launched in March 2019.

By offering people more choice while continuing to help them excel in their legal careers, Clifford Chance Choice aims to help us remain an employer of choice among the brightest and best legal talent.

Every year we offer our lawyers the option to apply for up to one or two months unpaid leave, without providng a reason, which complements existing flexible working options across the firm.

Clifford Chance Academy

The Academy provides world-class learning opportunities for our people, lawyers and other business professionals alike, across all our offices.

Partners and business support Directors in the firm work alongside external experts to develop the tailored curriculum not only to help expand the technical and business knowledge of our people, but to enhance their cultural awareness and global perspective as well.

Growth will come from both in and outside the classroom, on the job, and online with the help of our extensive interactive eLearning course and knowledge-sharing videos.
