The role
We are always looking for talented trainee lawyers. Flexibility, drive, and a pragmatic attitude are qualities we like to see. Your development is central to us; thanks to our practice group rotation, you will have the opportunity to be trained broadly and diversely.
Are you (nearly) graduated and do you want to specialize in real estate law, (sustainable) project development and/or energy law? Then a trainee lawyer position with a seat in our Projects & Real Estate practice group is for you. Within this practice group, we advise clients on complex real estate transactions, project finance, energy projects, and infrastructural developments. Think of legal guidance during the purchase, sale, and development of real estate, the drafting of commercial contracts, and advising on permits and regulations within the construction and energy sectors.
Qualifications
Are you ambitious and proactive and do you want to work at the top of the international legal profession? Furthermore, are you in the final stages of your Master of Laws or have you already graduated? Then we are looking for you!

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.
