About Freshfields
Fresh thinking for a changing world
Our story
For nearly 300 years, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has been at the forefront of legal practice, advising clients on their most important and complex matters. We have grown from our London roots to become one of the world's leading international law firms.
Today, we combine deep local market understanding with a truly global perspective. Our network of offices across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and North America enables us to deliver seamless, integrated legal services wherever our clients need us.
Our success is built on our people – talented lawyers and business professionals who bring fresh thinking, creativity, and deep expertise to every matter. We invest in our people, our innovation capabilities, and our client relationships to ensure we continue to deliver exceptional value.
We started with 8 people and have now grown exponentially to a team of over 300 legal experts. Our journey began with a vision to deliver exceptional legal services with integrity and innovation. Every member of our founding team brought unique expertise and an enthusiastic spirit that continues to drive our firm's excellence today.
Building connections beyond the office
Our team had a thrilling experience with white water rafting during one of our annual offsite visits. These team-building activities strengthen the bonds between our colleagues, fostering collaboration and trust that translates directly to better client service. We believe that teams who challenge themselves together create exceptional results together.
Our team enjoys peaceful moments at our annual retreat by the lake. These gatherings provide an opportunity for reflection, strategic planning, and building deeper relationships across departments. The serene environment allows us to step back from daily demands and focus on our long-term vision and shared values.
Based at our flagship office at 100 Bishopsgate in the heart of London's financial district, our team combines diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and expertise. This diversity is our strength, enabling us to approach complex legal challenges from multiple angles and deliver innovative solutions for our clients across all industries.
