We welcome applications from outstanding students with an academic background in French law. English is the only language of which mastery is a pre‑requisite.

YOUR ROLE

An internship in Freshfields’ International Arbitration Group would expose you to a wide range of cross‑border work, including some of the most complex and interesting international disputes currently subject to arbitration.

With most of our current lawyers having started their careers as interns in our practice, the Freshfields internship is our preferred method of recruiting junior associates within our team.
