Advice for applicants
While the roots of the firm stretch back to the early 1800s, today’s Clifford Chance came into being in 1987 with the merger of London firms Coward Chance and Clifford Turner. Then, in 2000, Clifford Chance undertook a major international merger with Germany's Pünder Volhard Weber & Axster and New York-based Rogers & Wells.
The combination created the world's first global law firm. To this day, Clifford Chance remains the only non-franchise law firm with real breadth and depth of expertise across five continents.
