A global view

Clifford Chance is one of the largest law firms in the world. We’re proud of our scale, not as an end in itself but for what it means to our clients and our people. As our clients have become more global, we have built a truly global law firm, perhaps the first of its kind –with a strong presence in every major financial centre across the Americas, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Through this platform we are able to provide clients all over the world with sector-leading knowledge, commercial insight, and local expertise.

We now have 30* offices in 21 countries and, as new markets emerge, Clifford Chance continues to evolve and expand. We have recently opened offices in Abu Dhabi and Kyiv to extend our capabilities in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. In 2007 we were the first international law firm to open a shared service centre in India and we are a leading firm in the rapidly expanding Chinese market, with offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong.

What does this mean for our people? Opportunities and exposure. Our international reach enables us to attract the most challenging and interesting work from clients all over the world. It enables us to connect our people with high-calibre colleagues in over 20 different countries, and to build effective teams that span time zones, geographies, languages and cultures. For you it means the opportunity to work overseas and to develop a truly international career.

We have never been afraid of being the first to respond to new developments in the legal market; to anticipate the cross-border nature of business today; to take ideas that work in one part of the world and to apply them, with thought and flexibility, in another. Our working environment - the people who work here, the work that we do, the facilities we enjoy and the way we behave - reflects these international aspirations and makes the most of our multicultural strengths.

We have more leading global practices than any other firm (Chambers Global 2008) and further recognition includes: Global Banking & Finance Firm of the Year (Chambers Global Awards 2007), Middle East Team of the Year (IFLR Middle East Awards 2008), Corporate Social Responsibility Award (FT Innovative Lawyers 2007) and Best Client Relationship Management Strategy (MPF Awards 2007).

Our international capabilities include offices in: Abu Dhabi, Amsterdam, Bangkok, Barcelona, Beijing, Brussels, Bucharest, Budapest, Dubai, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, London, Luxembourg, Madrid, Milan, Moscow, Munich, New York, Paris, Prague, Riyadh, Rome, São Paulo, Shanghai, Singapore, Tokyo, Warsaw and Washington DC.
