Katharina Creutz

SENIOR ASSOCIATE

"The firm fosters a positive way of thinking and promotes a strong team spirit. It motivates me as I know that I can make a difference and that the efforts I put into my work each day have an impact for me and for others."

Peter Audesirk

COUNSEL

"What attracted me the most was the international reputation and profile of the firm, in particular the Luxembourg office located in the centre of Europe with the second largest fund industry in the world."

Eimear O'Dwyer

COUNSEL

"I stay because there is no other job I would rather be doing. I enjoy the high achieving culture, interesting and challenging work, career opportunities and great people."

Yolanda-Alma Ghita-Blujdescu

SENIOR ASSOCIATE

"Not only are the people very kind and talented, but we work as a team. That in itself may not sound ground breaking, but if you put it into a global perspective this is."

Federica Gamen

AVOCAT

"As a lawyer you will be responsible for the trajectory of your career. Be curious and keep yourself open to work on different practice. This will allow you to understand what appeals to you the most."

Paul Van den Abeele

Partner

"The firm encourages an entrepreneurial spirit, which you can witness constantly being tapped into in new regions and areas, new technologies being utilised, and new ideas being brought to life."

Katia Gauzès

MANAGING PARTNER

"Advising the largest and most recognised financial investors and corporates is of course a challenge, but I feel very proud going through the news and seeing one of the deals I worked on in the headlines."

Laurent Dimmer

AVOCAT À LA COUR

"My advice for anyone who is considering a career at Clifford Chance or, more generally, in law, would be to stay curious and always try to see and understand new things that may go beyond the actual work that is required of you or your field of expertise."
