3 WORKING AT CLIFFORD CHANCE WORKING AT CLIFFORD CHANCE WHAT OUR LAWYERS DO Our groundbreaking deals puts us at the heart of international business events as they unfold. Mention corporate law and most people probably think of large tomes setting out the rules and processes that direct how companies run themselves. That s true to an extent, but it s only part of the picture. Commercial lawyers actually make the most high profile and influential deals in the world happen, whether it s building a stadium, funding a global bank, leasing a fleet of airliners, providing complex regulatory advice or arranging a merger between multinational companies. Corporate law provides the code that governs how these deals take place. Often it hasn t anticipated the types of transactions and ways of working that happen today. We help clients to understand how this legal code affects them and, more importantly, the best ways of working within it. It s interesting and challenging work. Each country has its own corporate laws and set of regulations. What s easy in one place can be difficult in another and impossible in a third. Our remit as lawyers extends beyond individual jurisdictions, across Asia Pacific and globally. We need to understand all the dynamics and find the best possible solution for our clients. In a world where commercial success increasingly relies on globalisation, we blend legal expertise and business focus with a truly international outlook. If you re studying law, much of this may well be clear to you already, but we hire plenty of graduates who haven t studied law at university and who might not be sure how their skills will be suited to working here. There s no need to worry though. You ll receive plenty of training during your training/graduate programme. Provided you have the required energy, ambition and intellectual curiosity, you ll definitely fit in. What makes Clifford Chance lawyers different? Firstly, our collaborative and adaptable culture. We work together across borders, languages and legal systems, sharing insights and expertise to achieve our clients commercial goals. Secondly, we re pioneers, working on many first of a kind deals. Finally, it s the nature of our people. Highly professional and selfassured, with an entrepreneurial streak, they re more than happy to share their expertise and knowledge

4 WORKING AT CLIFFORD CHANCE WORKING AT CLIFFORD CHANCE LAWYERS FOR A CHANGING WORLD Clients expect more from their lawyers than ever before. They look to us as business partners on their journey to achieve their objectives. It s not just about precedents and compliance, but finding new ways to build relationships and deliver the results that matter. It follows that the whole mind-set of commercial lawyers has changed. We ve become more entrepreneurial and creative in our practice. Thinking globally isn t just about having offices in different places but how we put it all together. We routinely work across jurisdictions on very large, complex deals that present new and sometimes unprecedented challenges. This approach means we re a firm of firsts, often breaking new ground to meet client needs. We established a presence in Hong Kong in 1980 and are the longest-standing international law firm in Singapore. We continue to open new offices, most recently in Seoul, Casablanca, Riyadh and Jakarta*. As a leading law practitioner delivering international deals in many jurisdictions, we always aim for local excellence and global standards. You ll be in contact with colleagues across the network in Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas and impressed by the quality, breadth and accessibility of our global knowledge. This has important implications for your life as a trainee. The sheer quality of the work we do and the collaborative spirit of the firm make this an outstanding learning environment. But it also brings responsibilities, challenges and demands. It takes immense drive and motivation to stay ahead in a world that s changing as fast as ours. If you re excited and inspired by that, Clifford Chance could be the right firm for you.

5 WORKING AT CLIFFORD CHANCE WORKING AT CLIFFORD CHANCE Our firm has more tier-one rankings in the cross-border tables of Chambers Global 2015 than any other international firm. WHAT S THE MATTER? We use our quality legal advice, our reputation for excellence and innovation, and our intenational reach to get clients the best possible results. For you as a trainee/graduate lawyer, what you work on is really important because it drives your learning and delivers your job satisfaction. So what kind of work do we do? The matters we tackle include cross-border, ground-breaking global transactions and cases. There s more detail on our website, but it comes down to large, complex, global deals and disputes that demand a sophisticated blend of business understanding and legal knowledge. So how do we do it? The firm is built around six global practice areas: Finance; Capital Markets; Corporate; Litigation & Dispute Resolution; Real Estate; Tax, Pensions & Employment. It s likely that most of your training time will be spent in the first four areas, because they re the largest practice areas for our firm in Asia Pacific. This means you ll need a genuine interest in financial and commercial law. Client challenges rarely fall conveniently within one practice area so we work together through international, cross-practice teams who share deep experience in specific sectors ranging from energy to healthcare. Every deal we work on provides opportunities to work with different parts of the firm. As a trainee/ graduate, no matter which area of the firm you re working in, you ll often find yourself connecting with colleagues across the globe to build teams that span time zones, languages and cultures, with a focus on sector experience and expertise. Clifford Chance is a large law firm. We have thousands of legal advisers working in dozens of offices across the world, in each key business centres. However, our teams are very close-knit and connected. Clients regularly praise the seamless and integrated service they receive from the firm, regardless of the number of practice areas or jurisdictions involved. If you train as a lawyer with Clifford Chance you ll work alongside people who re not only experts in their field, but are committed to sharing their knowledge and helping you develop. The combination of collaborative spirit, professional expertise and can-do attitude that builds client confidence and wins industry awards also makes this a very special place to train as a lawyer

6 WORKING AT CLIFFORD CHANCE WORKING AT CLIFFORD CHANCE ALL LAW FIRMS ARE NOT THE SAME If global law firms are competing to provide the same kind of professional services, you might think we would all end up the same. The fact is, firms vary in spirit, culture and atmosphere. We re one of the world s largest law firms, but it often doesn t feel like that. We usually work together in small teams, brought together to meet the particular demands of the matter at hand. It s a no-nonsense, can-do culture. Partners are hands on with the work and newly qualified lawyers are expected to demonstrate leadership behaviour from a very early stage. Every single person is critical to the success of the team. The quality of our trainees/graduates and newly qualified lawyers helps us to deliver the best for our clients and this is a key reason why clients come back to us. One client said about us: They bring their expertise and knowledge and apply it to our business... I feel comfortable talking to them about anything, and they make sure that negotiations stay friendly. This isn t just about being nice to everyone. The fact that we recruit highly adaptable and intelligent people means that collaboration across practice areas, business sectors and time zones comes naturally to us. You will enjoy working with colleagues from different backgrounds across the firm. Sharing our various skills and perspectives helps us to come up with innovative solutions when our clients are in a fix. We appeal to people who re fiercely professional and instinctively entrepreneurial, without being arrogant or self-absorbed. This works for us when it comes to building solid relationships with clients. They appreciate lawyers who understand their business and get to the point without any ceremony. Our culture encourages this

7 LEARNING AT CLIFFORD CHANCE LEARNING AT CLIFFORD CHANCE TRAINING TO BE A LAWYER The two-year training/graduate programme turns gifted beginners into professionals, with the aim of getting the breadth of experience you need to emerge as a confident business adviser. As far as possible, training is arranged to reflect your interests and priorities. Our training/graduate programme is divided into four, six-month seats (rotations) that place you in different parts of our business. You will work in teams with different colleagues and clients, gaining exposure to the challenges they face and the ways in which we help them. While seat availability is subject to the needs of the business, we endeavour to allocate you seats which reflect your personal career ambitions. Our extensive international network and the global nature of our business mean that it is both possible and beneficial for you to take one of your seats in one of our overseas offices. Secondments are an opportunity for you to acquire new skills and experience, possibly to utilise and improve your language skills and give you a valuable international perspective on new business and a different cultural environment. Throughout the training contract/graduate programme, you will be closely supported, both informally and through formal mentoring, with advice and guidance from the graduate team and a supervisor in each seat. In general, learning at Clifford Chance follows the 70:20:10 rule, which is to say that 70% of your learning happens through practical experience, with 20% via mentoring and 10% by formal study. The seat process is akin to an apprenticeship. You will work closely alongside your supervisor and he or she sees what you do, gives you advice, checks your work and then gradually gives you more complex things to do as your skills and confidence grow. It s a great way to learn because you have a safety net and a feedback loop right there

8 LEARNING AT CLIFFORD CHANCE LEARNING AT CLIFFORD CHANCE TAKE A SEAT Given that seats are such an important part of your programme with Clifford Chance, how do you choose which practice areas you want to work in? Our graduate teams work with you from your acceptance of our offer, through the training/graduate programme and qualification process, and into your first role as an associate. At every stage of your training, there ll be support and advice. We ll ask you where you d like to go next and, wherever possible, we ll give you your first choice, while providing a genuinely balanced and representative mix of experience. Clifford Chance provides immense support for its trainees/graduates, directly and indirectly. The moment you accept our offer, we ll put you in touch with a current trainee/ graduate who acts as your buddy all the way to the beginning of the programme. We stay in touch with you and there s a good stream of social and professional events that make you feel part of the team, even as a future trainee/graduate. Once your training begins, you ll have a dedicated supervisor in each seat (usually an associate) and there are also career development partners who manage the quality of the training experience for our trainees, graduates as well as associates. Nothing is left to chance. We provide close training and mentoring for supervisors, so that they know in turn how to provide the right kind of support for trainees/graduates. We make a huge investment in our trainees/graduates and there ll be many people who ll help you to make the most of your experience. In a sense, though, the support you get as a trainee/graduate is merely an extension of a fundamentally collaborative culture. As you move from seat to seat, building your legal and business skills, you ll also be learning to trust and rely on those around you

9 LEARNING AT CLIFFORD CHANCE LEARNING AT CLIFFORD CHANCE THE ROAD AHEAD Our people provide the firm with its most vital resource. Join Clifford Chance and we will expect a great deal from you. After all, we want people who are driven to excel, who set very high standards for themselves, and who aspire to reach the highest levels within our firm. In return for your energy and commitment, you can expect the level of exposure and investment in your career development that is only offered by a handful of professional service firms. From your first day with Clifford Chance, you will experience an environment that is both lively and welcoming. You ll be part of a series of compact and supportive teams, providing advice or working on matters that are critical to the client s business and, as a trainee/graduate, you will make an important contribution to their success. Throughout the training/graduate programme you will be closely supported both informally and through formal mentoring with advice and guidance from your supervisor in each of your seats. As a trainee/graduate, we will make sure that your energy and time are focused on activities that will best develop your legal and business skills. You could be drafting and proofing documents, conducting due diligence on a client s acquisition target, attending client meetings, preparing documents for a court hearing, researching titles and leases on a real estate portfolio or creating a data room ahead of a major transaction. Most of your time will be spent working in teams where you will make an important contribution to their success - you may even run some smaller transactions for clients. As you might expect, life as a trainee/graduate can sometimes be challenging, particularly in the countdown to finalising a transaction or heading into a resolution hearing. You will be expected to deliver high-quality service consistently - often across different time zones, requiring commitment, energy and enthusiasm. As your experience grows you will begin to take on more responsibility for specific tasks, but you will always have expert colleagues on hand to explain what you are doing and take an active interest in your development. As a firm, we are seeking to identify and develop our next generation of leaders both in our profession as lawyers and within our business to guide our firm so we encourage you to think not just about training with Clifford Chance but about qualifying and building a career here

It s a high-pressured and fast-moving environment, but that brings with it great benefits - Clifford Chance is a very dynamic place to work, and you re never bored. At times, you may feel like you are being pushed - in a good way to be intellectually challenged, and it will show you that your training is being taken seriously. There s a strong sense of community, with a variety of social activities, but it starts with the fact that people enjoy working here and enjoy spending time together. We re very active in the wider community, through pro bono, community work and charitable giving. We feel a sense of responsibility to use our skills and expertise. It s good for both our lawyers and our local communities. A big part of our offer as an employer is to provide an endless supply of challenging, interesting work. Our work in the community gives our people exposure to activities that are very different from their day jobs. Whether you re mentoring children in local schools, or providing free legal advice to a charity or NGO, it broadens your vision and adds to your skills. Last year over 70% of people in the firm were involved in some kind of community work. People are keen to give something back, but alongside the feelgood factors, people always say that it s made them better at the day job. We talk about our community and pro bono work in greater detail on our website

And we work to ensure that Clifford Chance is a place where we all can perform at our peak and give our clients the best advice they can get.

It is important to everyone at Clifford Chance that we foster an environment where everyone can be themselves and can perform to the best of their abilities.

We are focusing intently on attracting candidates from the broadest range of backgrounds, and encouraging them to build careers here. We ve also put in place training to help us understand how our unconscious biases may affect us when we work with people who are different from us just one of the ways our global training and development Academy helps equip us to be our best.

And our senior leadership ensures that this commitment is integrated across the firm and into our strategy. Corporate responsibility is all about creating a relationship of trust with, and commitment to, the broader communities in which we operate; it s what gives any organisation its reputational licence to operate, so it is absolutely critical. What we hear from our staff, clients, recruits, suppliers - from all our stakeholders - is that they have an expectation that we act responsibly and are seen to be acting responsibly. There is a wide acceptance that organisations must take a holistic approach, thinking about all of their stakeholders. In our case, not just doing our best for our clients but also working in a way that brings benefits to the broader business environment and, indeed, to civil society. We re living in a world that s undergoing a huge amount of change as we grapple with globalisation, urbanisation and the impacts of the financial crisis. We realise that - in comparison with many - we are in a very privileged position. We have over 6,000 people working for the firm, hugely talented and with a fantastic range of valuable skills and experience. Together, we can really make an impact. We can t solve the world s problems but it s crucial that we do our bit. There s also an important point here about individual development. Our people who are involved in this type of activity - whether it s pro bono advice, mentoring local students, or working alongside clients on an environmental initiative - all have a much broader, more considered view of business life, and develop a wider range of really valuable life skills and business skills. For our lawyers, it s a great way for them to understand the context beyond the immediate confines of the transaction or case that they re working on at any given moment. Feeling that you can have a positive impact on some of the more pressing issues facing society is also hugely motivating, and that s an important aspect of ensuring that everyone here feels that Clifford Chance is a really great place to work
