Careers

Life at Freshfields : Russia

/uploadedImages/Locations/Russia/Careers/life at Freshfields..jpg

Freshfields arrived in Russia just as it began opening up as a market economy.

Since then our Moscow office has handled some of Russia’s most significant, ground-breaking deals. Our team of Russian and global lawyers has secured an impressive client list in a wide range of sectors. We’ve also gained a reputation as a friendly place to work.

As a result we’re now known as one of the city’s most successful legal teams.

So whether you join as a lawyer, graduate or business services professional, Moscow is a great place to progress your career.

Delivering ground-breaking deals isn’t easy of course. But if you’ve got an appetite for complex, challenging work, you’ll reap the rewards.

Our work

Our work

We carry out a broad range of work that includes general corporate and commercial; mergers and acquisitions; joint ventures; banking and finance; restructuring and corporate recovery; infrastructure financings; capital market transactions; property projects; and privatisations.

We have experience in energy and natural resources; metallurgy; food and drinks; retail; telecommunications; banking; automotive; aerospace and fast-moving consumer goods.

Each transaction is different with its own challenges but there’s a common theme: they’re big, complex and demanding. And ultimately highly satisfying.
