Please note that we recruit on a rolling basis, meaning that your application will most likely be reviewed before the application deadline. We will continue to accept applications until we have successfully filled the role.

The Firm

We are not just a UK firm with offices in Europe. We are a European law firm at our core. While our head office is in London, we are spreading across Europe at a rate. In addition to our UK, China and Silicon Valley presence we have offices in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain. Look out for more to come. 
 
We are growing fast. With 1,800 people across 25 offices in 13 countries you might expect an impersonal office culture but you will find a homely, family feel even in the largest offices. You won't find cake listed in our benefits but perhaps it should be. Regular treats in the kitchens, monthly office buffet lunches and social events throw everyone together. 
 
Fieldfisher and you - a match made for success
Hopefully you decide we're right for you and we decide you're right for us. Quality on both sides. Across all our offices and jurisdictions are market-leading practices in corporate/M&A, finance, real estate, energy and natural resources, technology and life sciences.
 
We work with the heavy hitters, counting as clients large corporations including major technology firms, pharmaceutical and life sciences companies, energy suppliers, infrastructure companies, global banks and financial institutions. Collaboration is not just something we talk about in our Values statement (although it is one of our Values). Our approach with clients is to work with them not just for them, maintaining a constant dialogue, tailoring our services to their needs and integrating cutting-edge legal technologies into our advice where we can - but only where we think it adds value. 
 
The legal bit
We aim to ensure equality of opportunity and we are actively working towards improving the diversity of our staff. All applications will only be considered on merit and the applicant's suitability to meet the requirements of the role.
