The impressive positions our alumni hold reflect both the quality of our firm’s legal training and our global reach.
Should you pursue a career outside Cleary Gottlieb, you’ll join a network of stellar alumni of whom we are incredibly proud. Many alumni choose to remain in close contact with us after they leave—with many even becoming our best clients. People may leave Cleary, but they never leave the Cleary family.

- Member of the World Trade Organization’s Appellate Body, representing the European Communities
- Co-CEO and co-chairman of IMAX, winner of an Academy Award
- Senior restructuring officer of the U.S. Department of the Treasury
- Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury
