Application deadline was 2nd November 2023, 11:59pm

This year we're excited to host four in-person conferences in our London office, each designed with a particular audience in mind.

We've partnered with a variety of organisations, speakers, and internal Clifford Chance teams to help you learn more about life at Clifford Chance ahead of applying to either SPARK or our Training Contract.

We recognise there's only so much you can find out about the realities of the work and role from a website. 

We've specially curated our conferences to give you a more in depth and well-rounded insight into our firm. Each conference explores a different aspect of our business from the varied perspectives of people across the firm and beyond.

We encourage you to take a look and make the most of these invaluable sessions in preparation for any applications you are planning to make to the firm. 

ELEVATE

Clifford Chance is excited to host ELEVATE, our brand-new conference aimed at aspiring lawyers from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. The conference aims to broaden access to the legal profession and open the doors to Clifford Chance to those who might have otherwise not known where to start. We'll provide practical tips to build confidence, offer advice for navigating the SPARK and Training Contract application process, and share inspiring stories from Clifford Chance role models from a variety of backgrounds. You'll also get a chance to network with like-minded individuals and firm representatives, including members of our internal social mobility action group (RISE), the Early Talent team, and lawyers from across the firm who all share a passion for social mobility.

From panel sessions to interactive workshops, we hope you'll leave inspired and equipped for success. Please apply if this sounds like it could help you on your journey into commercial law.
