Forthcoming open days
We are offering a number of opportunities in 2009 to visit our offices and learn about the firm and its practice, in the form of Open Days and Workshops.
We hope to offer an insight into the kind of work we do and the culture of the firm. You will have the opportunity to learn how we work with clients, how law is applied in a commercial setting and will get the chance to talk to partners, associates and trainees.
Each Open Day or Workshop is aimed at a specific group. As the content is tailored to meet the needs of different applicants, please take care to apply for the correct day. Please do not apply before the dates specified below.
- 6 and 7 January 2009 – Two-day workshop for non-law applicants, including a case study and the chance to work shadow a trainee. This event is now full and we are no longer accepting applications.
- 2 April – Open day for first year law students, including a case study and workshops designed to give an insight into commercial law. Applications open on 3 February 2009.
- 3 April – Open day for penultimate year undergraduates, finalists and graduates, including a case study and applications workshop. Applications open on 3 February 2009.
To apply for one of our open days or workshops, please write a statement detailing your academic results from A Level (or equivalent) onwards, what interests you about commercial law and specifically, what interests you about Freshfields. Your statement should be no longer than one page of A4. The statement should be emailed to recruitmentevents@freshfields.com.
"There’s a really wide range of industry sectors, too, so I can keep learning about business and not just the legal side."
