Clifford Chance

Challenging Work

I want to be challenged

What constitutes happiness in a job? A variety of things—the respect we each have for one another, the comfort of our environment, the compensation, and the work itself.

Those who fit in best at Clifford Chance want to be a contributing member of a team—and our associates count on the opportunity to make contributions early and often.

Ask us what's the key factor in creating long-term satisfaction and we’ll tell you…it’s the challenge. Isn’t that what you expect from a legal career when you graduate?

Our lawyers work on some of the largest, most innovative transactions and lawsuits — ones with the potential to take the world in new directions. We make a difference, make headlines and even manage to make a little history along the way. We have a rich practice mix that accommodates a broad range of interests, passions and skills.

Corporate/Transactional

Our transactional work involves supporting large multinational businesses in their day-to-day dealings. This work covers a wide spectrum of US and cross-border matters relating to capital markets and complex financial products, banking, project finance, financial restructuring and insolvency, M&A, private equity, real estate, tax and ERISA.

Litigation

Our litigation practice includes a wealth of experience both domestically and internationally. We are widely known for our regulatory advice, investigations and complex commercial litigation in target sectors—antitrust, securities, compliance, banking and healthcare. On both the civil and criminal side we offer a depth of trial experience to clients and trial opportunities to our younger lawyers that is unusual for a large firm.

Who we work with

Our clients include the largest American and international banks and investment banks, corporations and insurance companies.

We have a world-leading practice representing international banks in sensitive, cross-border regulatory investigations.
