HEADLINE SPONSORS

As a leading global law firm, we recruit diverse talent from around the world, that’s why we’re proud to continue our longstanding sponsorship of National Student Pride.

Whether you’ve considered a career in law or not, we are looking for talented and diverse people who can drive our mission forward in providing legal services to our clients. Over the years, our efforts towards LGBT+ inclusion have been acknowledged through industry recognition, affirming our position as one of the leading legal employers in this area.

We are proud to be the hosts of the ground-breaking ACCEPT – which is an insight day for aspiring lawyers who are LGBTQ+. We have a dedicated LGBT+ Network at Clifford Chance (ARCUS), and have long-standing partnerships with myGwork, National Student Pride and Attitude Magazine.

It’s our aim to be the LGBT+ employer of choice in the legal sector where our culture supports people to be themselves, all day, every day, delivering an equality of opportunity, aspiration and experience.
