Overview
Clifford Chance LLP is an international law firm headquartered in London, United Kingdom, and a member of the "Magic Circle," a group of the most prestigious London-based multinational law firms. It ranks as one of the top ten largest law firms in the world measured both by a number of lawyers and revenue.
For many years, obtaining work experience in the legal sector depended largely on who you know rather than what you know. Clifford Chance's response to this is their bespoke, award-winning, two-year development programme for year 12 or equivalent students - Clifford Chance ACCESS.
Clifford Chance ACCESS.
This pioneering programme consists of twelve different components, each focused around specific core areas of your personal and professional development, culminating in the opportunity to secure a place on their ACCESS SPARK programme and ultimately a Training Contract.
This event will exclusively focus on Clifford Chances ACCESS scheme, information about the scheme and applying to it. You'll also get to meet the recruiters!
