Life at Freshfields : Spain

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

We’re one of Spain’s most respected global law firms, based across offices in Barcelona and Madrid.

Our horizons are wide and our people think big. Our clients are global players who bring complex deals and disputes to the table, spanning borders and industries.

Our firm comprises over 80 lawyers – 14 of whom are partners, two counsels and one consultant – set across two offices in Spain’s leading economic and cultural hubs. But we function as one team, sharing knowledge as we tackle problems, resolve disputes and clinch deals.

We’re proud to be one of the biggest employers of locally-qualified lawyers in a global law firm in Spain. All our lawyers are fluent in Spanish and English, and those in Barcelona also speak Catalan. There are French, Italian and German speakers among us, allowing us to speak with most of our major clients in their own languages.

It’s hard work, and we expect a lot. But you’ll reap the rewards with top-class professional development and unrivalled opportunities.
