Clifford Chance Graduate Stories

One of the most enjoyable parts of my job is the opportunity to travel.

I thoroughly enjoy speaking with and meeting clients to understand their most complex, strategic and reputation critical opportunities and challenges. I get great satisfaction in helping them grow and succeed. 

My areas of responsibility involve working on various matters that are typically litigation files.

I choose Banking and Finance as I knew that I wanted to work on deals (rather than disputes) with an international element.

A highlight for me of working at Clifford Chance is the international pipeline of work, and the optionality around travel, and travelling for work the firm offers.

Working as a lawyer not only requires you to recite case law and legislation but also requires you to give commercial rounded advice.

Anybody driven by a strong motivation to learn and to succeed can perform well in this job but you do need to be willing to make sacrifices in your personal life.
