Cliffe Dekker is widely regarded as a rewarding place to work.
Our new recruits like that the firm has a youthful structure combined with a
progressive outlook that offers realistic opportunities for promotion.
We offer an environment where your achievements are recognised
and rewarded; market-related remuneration, a benefits programme and paid study
leave.
Our flexible approach to creating a balance between career and
private life is backed by firm wide policies. We continually strive towards
becoming even more adaptable and accommodating.
We recognise that our continued growth and success depends on
the quality of our people, which is why we take so much care in recruiting and
training the best.
Our graduates are given every opportunity and the means to reach
their full potential. We provide mentoring, performance review, regular
feedback, support and a specialised coaching programme to assist you in
becoming the lawyer you want to be.
Through a rotation programme, our candidate attorneys train for
up to six months in different practice areas. In this way, you gain invaluable
exposure to a wide range of specialist fields.
You will gain hands-on, practical experience in the practice of
law under the guidance of some of the most experienced lawyers in their fields.
As part of a team appointed to look after a client's business, you will be able
to learn through practice and observation in an interactive learning
environment.
Regular feedback and performance evaluation allow our young
lawyers to review their own training and development objectives, and to develop
and grow as individuals.
We offer a first class training environment, involving work
which is intellectually stimulating, technically demanding and
challenging!
Knowledge management is a top priority. Cliffe Dekker was one of
the first South African law firms to appoint a partner to the full time
position of knowledge management, with the exclusive focus to disseminating
information, providing continuous training and transferring the experience and
skills of senior professionals to our young lawyers.
We offer continuous skills training, interactive discussions of
case studies and new developments in law, and access to our vast database of
opinions, arbitration awards and other resource materials designed to advance
comprehensive professional knowledge and skills.
