In their own words
About the company & team
Clifford Chance is an international law firm that works across borders every day – in different jurisdictions, cultures, and languages. Our culture is open and inclusive: we see diversity as a source of strength. Space to learn, to develop, and to grow. Working with profound legal expertise and commercial insight. Advising and litigating at moments that truly matter. We combine innovative, technology-driven solutions with legal craftsmanship in sectors that are of crucial importance to our clients.
More than 300 legal and non-legal professionals work in Amsterdam. From our monumental building next to Amsterdam Central Station, we advise (inter)national companies and financial institutions. Our culture is informal, approachable, pragmatic, and a little bit rebellious – international and with an Amsterdam edge.
