We are accepting applications for internships for six months starting in April 2025 (starting date flexible).

We welcome applications from outstanding postgraduate students in law, as well as recent graduates. Mastery of English is a pre-requisite. Fluency in other languages, especially German, Spanish or French, would be an advantage. We are very interested in applications from top talent from any jurisdiction, at the same time we are also looking for applications from English- and common law-trained post-graduates and lawyers.

An internship in the 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. Internships are our preferred method of recruiting junior associates.

To apply, please submit your cover letter and curriculum vitae, neither exceeding one page in length, together with a summary of your university results. Applications should be submitted by Friday, 28 February 2025.

Please direct any queries to: FrankfurtArbitrationTrainee@freshfields.com. Applications sent via email will not be considered.
