Training Contract at Clifford Chance

Having been with STRIVE for the past 3 application cycles, I can’t believe I have finally secured a training contract at my dream firm! The team has really supported me every step of the way. I am grateful to have had my wonderful mentor Elena and the rest of the Strive team in my corner, especially this past year as I have had a difficult couple of months. I wouldn't have been able to persevere without the team so thank you so much for everything. I also wanted to extend my appreciation to my previous mentors at Strive - Madina, Natasha and Jack - who have helped me in my previous applications to secure multiple vacation schemes and assessment centres - without them I wouldn't have been able to make it this far. With STRIVE you really get in what you put in and I hope that future candidates will make the most of every opportunity offered as it will make your dreams of becoming a commercial lawyer a reality!
