At every stage of your career we know that you want the opportunity to work with the best, to do your best work and to work in an environment where you can be yourself.
Essentially, people choose Freehills because they identify with our core values of excellence, commerciality, fulfilment and teamwork—attributes which have been the foundation of our continued success for over 150 years.
Do your best work, working with the best
When you come to Freehills you can expect all the advantages of a top-tier commercial firm, including opportunities to work with a blue-chip client list, with some of the most inspiring pro bono clients, and with colleagues who will stimulate you intellectually.
You can also expect unparalleled training and development opportunities: technical and professional training; current awareness; presentations by leaders in business, industry, and the community; and sessions to enhance your personal development and wellbeing.
And with the backing of the firm’s business services teams you will always have the tools you need to do your job.
There’s more to you
We know there are many other aspects of your life and that you need to be able to integrate these with work, to pursue your passions and explore the directions that your career may take you.
With the resources and support of Freehills you may wish to seek a secondment with a client to better understand their perspective, or to pursue further study. You might be inspired by our pro bono and community programs: from The Shopfront support for homeless young people, high school mentoring programs, to sporting challenges like running a marathon in aid of 40K Home.
Be yourself
It’s all about being yourself. There really is no mould. And while most organisations now understand the importance of diversity, this has been part of Freehills’ culture for a long time. We are proud to inherit the legacy of founding partners who took the then very unfashionable view that they wanted to employ only the best and brightest, regardless of religion, culture or background or gender, and we continue to lead in our diversity programs.
Genuine people who love the law
We are also very proud of our culture that encourages people to be down-to-earth and genuine with a strong spirit of camaraderie. You will be working with a group of highly professional yet relaxed people who really put themselves out to support their colleagues, their clients and their community and who will be keen to welcome you.
