Chiara is a Trainee Lawyer in our Dusseldorf office. Today, she recounts her secondment in Hong Kong to you.
“During my secondment at Clyde & Co Hong Kong, I gained valuable insights into cross-border legal practice within a leading international law firm. From the outset, I was fully integrated into the team and regularly participated in internal meetings, which provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the workflows and dynamics behind ongoing mandates.
Working in an international environment allowed me to broaden my perspective beyond the German legal framework. I actively supported associates and partners in legal research and case preparation, further strengthening my technical skills and practical understanding. The open, collaborative, and supportive team culture fostered both professional growth and personal development.
This experience not only enriched my legal understanding but also strengthened my ambition to pursue a career as an attorney in an international setting. It reaffirmed my commitment to this career path and provided a strong foundation for the next stage of my professional journey.”
