At Freshfields graduates will be building the future, helping the world’s biggest businesses, financial institutions and governments make the right decisions in a fast-changing world. They have a long history of innovation, and their award-winning legal advances keep their clients – and graduates – ahead of the curve.

Freshfields’ unique eight-seat training contract gets graduates involved in high-profile, precedent-setting international work. Teamwork is central to their culture as they work across multiple geographical borders and practice groups.

Freshfields have offices across the globe (including their newest in Silicon Valley), offering opportunities for secondments abroad. Their evolved working practices are a blend of remote and face-to-face office work, with support all the way until applicants qualify – and beyond.

They aim to have the greatest possible impact on access to justice through deep relationships with their pro bono clients and by pro-actively helping them in addressing systemic issues. As such, pro bono work is encouraged, supported and is fully accredited.

The Firm sees diversity as a strength and value fresh perspectives, creative ideas, and connections. Graduates can expect to be collaborating with people who also bring different skills and experiences, working together to solve the most challenging legal problems. Honesty and support are prioritised at Freshfields: their trained Mental Health First aiders and other mental health initiatives are just one part of a much broader emphasis on wellbeing.

For individuals who are creative at problem-solving, curious about different ways of doing things, and a team player, Freshfields would love to hear from them.
