With 33 offices in 22 countries, Clifford Chance offers law students the opportunity to join a major US global law firm with a preeminent US practice. We have built well-informed and well-connected local law practices in each of our locations to allow us to assist national and global clients alike – creating a firm-wide culture and environment that sustains individuals in their careers, helps them develop their talents, and makes our firm a great place to work.

We believe in giving our lawyers a high level of exposure and responsibility from the very beginning and this starts during the summer program. Our summer law clerks are encouraged to work on a wide variety of assignments, gaining exposure to the full range of our practice areas. In New York, this includes Banking & Finance, Capital Markets, Corporate/M&A, Litigation & Dispute Resolution, Real Estate, and Tax, Pensions & Employment. In Washington, DC, summer law clerks will work on matters in Litigation & Dispute Resolution, Antitrust, Project Finance and Tech Digital and in Houston our summers will have the opportunity to work closely with our global transactional teams, focusing on Energy Transition, Energy & Infrastructure, and Tech with exposure to Corporate M&A, Capital Markets, Project Development and Finance. In addition to real work experience, our summer law clerks participate in formal training programs focused on legal writing and practice area presentations, as well as a variety of outside speakers presenting on everything from how to Discover and Define Your Professional Persona to topical DE&I issues and events.  In order to provide exposure to our global network, we provide all of our 2L law clerks the opportunity to spend time working in one of our international offices. 

At Clifford Chance, we are committed to fostering a supportive work environment in which all employees may develop to their fullest potential and contribute their best work to the success of the firm and its clients. 

Clifford Chance lawyers have diverse backgrounds and cultures, but share a common characteristic – they enjoy working together, they never stop learning and are committed to providing our clients with the best possible service.
