What are we looking for?

To apply for the position of Abogado Junior, it must be advertised on our website and you must fulfil the following three prerequisites:

• Be a recent graduate in Spanish law
• Have an excellent academic record (a grade point average of at least a Notable in the core subjects)
• Be fluent in written and spoken English

If you are not a graduate in Spanish law, your foreign legal qualification must be validly recognised (homologado) in Spain for the purpose of practicing Spanish law, and you should have the right to legally live and work in Spain.

When reviewing your initial application, we will take particular account of any of the following additional qualifications or experiences:

• Additional graduate degrees in Business Administration, Economics or Political Sciences
• Postgraduate studies
• Temporary internships undertaken in a law firm or other enterprise
• Preparation of civil service exams (oposiciones) for positions in the public Administration
• Fluency in languages other than English (e.g., German or French).

For us there is no such thing as a "prototype" candidate. We value the diversity of people and cultures within our firm. At Clifford Chance people succeed according to their merits. Nevertheless, at each stage of our Abogado Junior selection process, we will be looking particularly for evidence that you are:

• Committed to a career in commercial law
• Keen to work in an international environment
• Motivated by intellectual challenges
• A creative but practical problem-solver
• A strong and persuasive communicator
• A collaborative team-player
• Reliable, accurate and thorough when completing a task
