As part of our continuing Migrant Leaders partnership with Clifford Chance, our students enjoyed our insight day. This included an introduction to Clifford Chance, an insight into the different practices and their values and culture. They heard inspirational career stories as part of a Career Carousel and had the opportunity to network and ask questions. The community outreach team were on hand to talk our students through the pathways into Clifford Chance and give advice on the application process
