Careers

Life at Freshfields : Global

Our clients bring huge, complex deals, disputes and problems that span countries and continents. And our people – open minded, big thinkers, strategists, tacticians, and more – clinch deals, resolve disputes and solve problems.

Our teamwork sets us apart. We commit to our clients, and we share their problems as if they were our own. We invest in our people, and we share professional know-how across the firm.

Whether you join as a lawyer, graduate or business services professional, you’ll play a part in one of the world’s best legal firms. We carry out an unrivalled variety of work globally across all industries and sectors.

A career with Freshfields is your chance to be your best.

It’s hard work, of course. And our expectations are high – like yours. There are no short cuts either: you’ll work hard, but you’ll reap the rewards.

On top of that, we support everyone’s professional development and wellbeing every step of the way.

It’s a great place to work.

Our work

Most of our work falls into three categories: advice, transactions, litigation. It’s mostly difficult deals or problems, almost always international.

We help clients buy and sell businesses and other assets, set up new and joint ventures, and merge and form consortia. We help them raise finance, launch investment products and reward and protect their workforce.

We help them defend their rights and ward off competitors. And we work for governments and financial institutions too.

To sum up, think large-scale complexity.

Our people

We’re an international law firm with a tradition of excellence dating back to 1743. We’re proud of that.

Clients value our people and our teamwork; they set us apart. To work here, then, you’ll need to work well in teams – ours and clients’ – across markets and industries and continents.

We realise we need diverse talent and skill sets from around the world to tackle the legal work we undertake. And we embrace difference: it makes great teams and stimulates new ideas. We’re proud of that too.
