Description:
We are one of the largest international law firms in the world, with over 30 offices across the globe. We believe every career at Clifford Chance should be rewarding and stimulating – full of opportunities to learn, thrive, and grow. Our firm, work and people span jurisdictions, cultures, and languages. We offer our clients a truly international perspective. That’s why we’re so proud of our inclusive, friendly, and team-based approach to work.
You’ll find our clients in commercial and industrial sectors, the financial investor community, governments, regulators, trade bodies, and not-for-profit organisations. But no matter who they are or why they’ve reached out to us, we provide a world-class service every step of the way. And that’s possible thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit and conscientious approach to work that you’ll find across all of our teams. Clifford Chance is a place where the brightest minds and the best of colleagues meet.
We're looking for the brightest and most talented individuals - ambitious people who offer new ideas and fresh perspectives, and who will ultimately be able to give our clients a competitive advantage. If that sounds like you, and you want to work at the cutting edge of commercial law, with outstanding legal and business training, and equally impressive 'on the job' experience, then take a closer look at Clifford Chance.
Clifford Chance's two-year Graduate Program turns gifted beginners into professionals, with the aim of getting the breadth of experience you need to emerge as a confident business adviser.
Our program is divided into four, six-month rotations where you'll have the chance to work across our core practice areas, including Corporate, Litigation & Dispute Resolution and Global Financial Markets. Our extensive international network means that one of your rotations can be spent overseas (London, Dubai, Hong Kong have been recent opportunities). We also offer domestic rotations between our Sydney and Perth offices as well as opportunities to travel internationally for both training and client matters.
From the moment you start your graduate program, you will be closely supported both informally and through formal mentoring, with advice and guidance from the HR team, your supervisor and buddy throughout each rotation. We recognise that quality training and supervision is the key to getting the most from your graduate program.
The training and mentoring you receive will ensure you are up-to-date with legal developments in the areas where you work and help you develop business skills such as time management, communication and client relationship skills. The continued technical training will include Practice Group Bootcamps, Academy Programs and in depth on the job learning, which will ensure you quickly become an expert in your field.
This role is for candidates who will be eligible to commence their graduate program in either Sydney or Perth from February 2026. For further insight into our graduate program, please visit our website here.
