Our Benefits
Discover the variety of your Freshfields Experience: where career and flexibility come together. This creates space for your individual development.
Digital detox
As our top priority is to provide our clients with excellent advice, we ensure that there is adequate cover during holidays and that recreation is possible without permanent availability.
Parent groups
Our internal parent groups actively promote dialogue between mothers and fathers. We are convinced that the dialogue with other working parents offers valuable suggestions for successfully balancing work and family life.
Paid Parental Leave
Reconciling work and family life doesn’t have to be left to chance. This is why we support parents with additional months of paid parental leave beyond their statutory entitlement.
Flexible working time models
We have individual working time models at every career level. Part-time lawyers? No exception for us.
Sabbaticals for Principal Associates
We encourage individual development in your professional life and beyond. Our Principal Associates have the opportunity to take a six-week paid sabbatical after one year.
Testimonial Stories
With us, you will find fascinating careers across a variety of fields. These illustrate how unique the Freshfields Experience can be and how it becomes a personal Freshfields experience for every employee. You may already be familiar with some of our testimonials – Max, Mario, Katharina or Annabelle. Let them tell you what our benefits and flexibility mean for them specifically.
Annabelle
My name is Annabelle, I’m French and I’ve been living in Berlin for about ten years. My story with Freshfields also began about ten years ago, even if it was interrupted by a few “breaks”.
After my parental leave, we worked together to find the right working time model for me.
