Career Development
and Training
We realise that people need to be supported to achieve their career goals.
We also recognise that the traditional role of the lawyer has changed in recent years and continues to evolve.
That is why we are committed to comprehensive career development and training, giving you the opportunity to become an outstanding lawyer.
The firm therefore encourages its lawyers to develop a variety of legal, business and commercial skills, through a combination of experience and dedicated training. It is this consistent training which can enable the professional to display their technical skills and ultimately project their all round abilities.
As training is crucial to both personal and professional success, we offer programmes tailored to your individual profile, objectives and goals.
These include:
- formal courses, both locally and as part of our global Academy's regional training programme
- continuous development opportunities
- a wealth of on-the-job practical experience
We offer dedicated business and legal skills training through the Clifford Chance Academy, our global training organisation.
Business skills programmes focus on managerial, leadership and interpersonal skills. Legal skills courses ensure that knowledge and best practice are exported across jurisdictional boundaries in order to support the key skills required to develop in our core practice areas. Local training programmes then enhance in-depth and up-to-date knowledge and application of domestic law.
While most technical legal training is done at department or ‘practice area’ level in the office, the Academy offers regional training courses that address specific areas of law at the cross-jurisdictional or global level.
Our aim is to develop a deep understanding of your career goals and to provide you with regular feedback and development opportunities.
