Episode three is the final of Clifford Chance’s film series Law In The Time Of Covid. It covers events of 2021, starting with the impact of the Kent variant on the employees.
Charlotte Madden was pursuing a promotion to Partner during this time, while also trying to complete six week’s worth of work in just three. In this episode she explains how the process for promotion had changed in the pandemic, and how she was supported by Clifford Chance.
