About Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer

At Freshfields, you can expect more. More innovation, more collaboration, more opportunity, more variety and more impact. All while building the skills and gaining the opportunities you need to grow – not just as lawyers, but as people too.

Are you ready for more?

You can expect to work hard. We work with leading, global businesses on complex issues, so it’s as much about people and commercial awareness as it is about law. You'll collaborate closely with partners and associates across our global network. It will be challenging at times, but it will always be rewarding and supportive. You are empowered to make the most out of the opportunities, take initiative and shape your journey.

You can expect variety. You'll experience different areas of law, so when you qualify you can expect to know what you enjoy the most. Beyond qualification, you’ll get to develop your strengths further, build new skills and explore new places.

We’re all good at our jobs – as a world-class global firm that’s a given – but it’s how we behave towards each other that’s special. You can expect difference. We have created an environment where we show respect and where everyone feels free to express and be themselves. We know that valuing each other’s perspectives and individual creativity makes us better colleagues and better at our work.

Being a responsible business is a fundamental part of who we are and what we do. We empower our people to make a positive difference for our clients, communities and the environment. We enable you to take ownership of your wellbeing at work by supporting you with plenty of initiatives to set you up for success.

We have a long and remarkable past, but it’s our ambition to continue to grow that makes our firm the right place for you to grow too. What we really expect are trainees who share our passion for the future – to be curious, proactive and to be themselves.
