Practice areas
Our innovative and cutting-edge work across six leading global practice areas helps our clients meet the many challenges of a rapidly evolving business world.
Our clients need lawyers who have both a detailed understanding of the technical areas of law and a commercial appreciation of how these relate to the industries in which they work. We work together in a number of international, cross-practice teams who share deep experience in specific sectors. Our sector groups range from Financial Institutions, Private Equity, and Insurance to Infrastructure & Energy, Transport & Logistics and Healthcare & Life Sciences. As a Clifford Chance trainee you will work in at least three of these practices before you qualify, learning from professionals at the leading edge of our profession. In reality, however, you will quickly find that nearly every deal or matter you encounter involves a number of different departments within the firm, as well as multiple jurisdictions, so you will gain exposure to the activities of a wide range of colleagues and offices, building an extensive professional network.
