Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer Profile

Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is a leading international law firm. Through our network of 28 offices in 16 countries, we provide first-rate legal services to corporations, financial institutions and governments around the world. Our lawyers work on high profile, interesting and often ground-breaking work for clients such as Morgan Stanley, AstraZeneca, Tesco, EMI and the Bank of England. We are recognised as market leaders for a wide range of work.

Training & Development

Our trainee solicitors receive a thorough professional training in a very broad range of practice areas, an excellent personal development programme and the chance to work in one of our international offices or on secondment with a client in the UK or abroad. You'll be working with and learning from one of the most talented peer groups in the legal world, and you'll get the blend of support and freedom you need to evolve your career and take advantage of the opportunities our international network offers.

Your training contract will be unique to you. Flexibility is one of the hallmarks of our training programme and one of the features which most differentiates our training contract from others.

Support & Balance

As a firm we believe in making sure that everyone counts, and organise ourselves accordingly. We believe that lawyers are better at handling the intense pace and pressure of work if they are part of a supportive team. We have a friendly and relaxed atmosphere which comes from having a diverse range of individuals who share a strong set of common values. We're committed to helping you keep your life in balance, and encourage a range of activities from basketball and yoga, to our CSR programme. Many of our people participate in this programme, which includes helping London school children with their reading and house building through the charity Habitat for Humanity.

Vacation Placements

Easter and summer schemes are offered for students in their penultimate year. Applications are accepted between 17 November 2008 and 16 January 2009 for placements in 2009. Applications should be made on the firm's online application form.

Salary
Benefits

£31,000 for the first year and £35,000 for the second year. £55,000 on qualification. Salaries are reviewed annually.

Who we are looking for

We recruit about 100 people each year to start as trainee solicitors in our London office. There is no such thing as a 'typical' Freshfields lawyer. Our broad array of practice areas and clients demands a wide range of individuals with differing skills, abilities and interests. However, you'll need strong academic qualifications (the ability to achieve a high 2.1 or first at degree level), a broad range of skills and a good record of achievement in other areas.
