A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITIES
Who we are
Clifford Chance in Brussels brings together the best of two worlds: the collegiality and flexibility
of a smaller office and the practice and clients of one of the world’s largest integrated law firms.
Our innovative and cutting-edge work across six global practice areas helps our clients meet the
many challenges of a rapidly evolving business world.
What we are looking for
Our success depends on attracting the best people and nurturing their talent. We are looking
to recruit talented and articulate graduates (or students) who want to be part of a leading
international law firm.
What we offer
As a junior lawyer, you will work across a range of practice areas as we do not have formal
departments. You will quickly find that nearly every deal or matter you encounter involves a
number of different practices within the firm, as well as multiple jurisdictions, so you will gain
exposure to the activities of a wide range of colleagues and offices and build an extensive
professional network. In addition, our recruits are often surprised by the down-to-earth and open
atmosphere, as well as the high level of involvement and responsibility from the outset.
Joining us will offer you the opportunity to work alongside lawyers who are leaders in their
field. But it’s not all about learning on the job: we have an extensive international programme of
continuing education. At every stage of your career, Clifford Chance is there to help you achieve
your personal goals.
Come and join the team!

Choosing where you start your career
is a big decision. We offer summer
placements so that you can get an
insight into what working here is really
like before making any commitments.
Our summer schemes are open to law
students of all universities. In selecting
candidates, we are most interested in
personal qualities, ambition and potential,
but we also expect you to have an
excellent academic record.
«It is a beautiful profession: the subtlety of tense
negotiations, the intellectual challenge of complex
legal questions, the thrill of high stake litigation...
Hard work indeed, but fascinating!»Yves Herinckx,
