Training Contract

We have designed our two-year Training Contract to give you the breadth of experience you need to emerge as a confident business adviser. You'll work on high-profile deals and take real responsibility from the offset whilst working as part of a team. You'll have several rotations which will give you the opportunity to explore our business, work in our practice areas, with the opportunity to also undertake client and international secondments. During your training we'll aim to reflect your interests and you'll be in the driving seat to push your career forward and take ownership of your development.

Clifford Chance SPARK is more than just work experience — it’s a long-term investment in your future. Our award-winning programme is designed for exceptional students in the early stages of their first undergraduate degree. It offers a unique opportunity to explore a career in commercial law and the potential to secure a Training Contract. SPARK is delivered in stages over nine months and across two academic years, combining in-person work experience and virtual content. Through a mix of classroom learning, skills development, work shadowing, and commercial awareness training, you’ll gain meaningful insight into our work and culture.
