The team culture fostered through in-office interactions is highly valued at Freshfields. At the same time, we take a pragmatic and progressive approach to flexible working. I often come into the office in the morning, and if my schedule allows, head home for dinner with my family before continuing to work remotely if needed.

Client secondment

At Freshfields, secondments are an integral part of our culture. In my third year as an Associate, I completed a six-month secondment at a bank in London. This experience gave me the opportunity to sit on the other side of the table, enhancing my understanding of the client perspective. It proved to be incredibly valuable, both professionally and personally.

International network

Collaborating with colleagues from around the globe is a key aspect of my daily work. Over the years, I’ve built a strong international network at Freshfields and in the industry, leading to lasting friendships and even an international cycling group that meets annually for rides across Europe.
