Clifford Chance

What is the best part of working at the company?
Team work, meeting deadlines, converting PDFs to Word document and styling the document with the appropriate number style, creating table of contents plus table of authorities, offer agreement, PowerPoint presentations, Word documents into PDFs, working directly with the partners or attorneys, arranging for hand or car delivery packages and assisting the supervisor in additional covering the telephone on the weekend for the entire firm.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Meeting deadlines and having a corrupt document that not loaded properly on to the computer network of the firm.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Like working with a great family, the supervisors showed great nurturing and compassion to a document specialist when assigning a task job to a document specialist.  The environment was very professional and peaceful.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Meeting my deadlines, understanding the instructions of my job tasks, keeping my work station clean and assisting other workers.

Absolutely loved working there. A very professional environment, of course produtive and fun at the same time. I probably would be the first person in this world to say so, but yes, my boss was one of the best bosses in this world. He was very strict about work, even if he was not there, we felt his work- pressure, which is fine, I think that is how it should be. At the same time, he was extremely understandable and friendly and fun. We had some kind of social perhaps 4-5 times a year where all the employees were treated in the cafeteria with such a well-organized get-together with absolutely yummy varieties to choose from, such as Halloween social, Ice cream social, etc. I miss working there :-(

One of the monumental events for me at the beginning of my career was my internship with Clifford chance and the most important part was a legal between a cloud company and healthcare company involving a data breach. I had to study the GDPR page by page and was able to complete the module after clear understanding of both parties in data protection.

The earlier is the Data Processor and the later is a Controller which by GDPR is primarily responsible for the protection of the confidentiality and security.

It's really a long debate but the fact remains evidence needs not to be accurate or sufficient in the eyes of the law...

So what does it mean for an evidence to be sufficient in this context? 😁

A typical day at  consisted of routine mail runs,delivery of packages,sorting of mail,faxing,completion of copy jobs,posting of mail,and daily upkeep of satellite rooms. 

Working for this firm,I learned excellent customer service skills.

Management at this firm was very help,understanding and willing to help staff excel.

All co workers at the firm were team players.

The hardest part of this job was having to leave.

The most enjoyable part of this job was seeing lawyers and staff appreciate my service.

The 'non-legal' side to a law firm is often forgotten about, but my time there was an enormous learning experience. My bosses were wonderful, cared about fostering an employee and giving them an opportunity to advance.

A typical day would be making travel arrangements for one partner while scheduling staff meetings for another partner while answering calls for yet another partner.  The hardest part of the job was keeping priorities straight and the most enjoyable part of the job was ending my day having completed all tasks.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Everyone in that office was nice to work with and made my work day fantastic.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There was nothing stressful about Clifford Chance.


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There were different cultures which was very nice to see and develop friendships with.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Assisting users promptly.

The workplace culture was nice. Management was good and always reasonable. Training was excellent. Compensation excellent. If problems needed to be addressed, there were ombudsmen to help with that.

The most difficult thing we had to deal with was the combination of Rogers & Wells and Clifford Chance -- combining the two different workplace cultures.

Typical Big Law Experience--your time there will be largely dependent on what team and practice you are a part of.  Not super-slavish, but does have the standard amount of stress and large time-commitment.

Opportunities to work on really large projects, and develop skills.  Most coworkers were very intelligent, and management was largely fair and transparent.

The Management Team is extremely inexperienced technically, even though they are charged with the role of technology advocates.  Decision making is an exhaustive process as too much time is spent on unnecessary  discussion rather than actual problem solving.
