Description

We are launching a new round of our five-week internship programme, Smart Challenge, in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg, Munich, and Brussels.

During your internship, you will work closely with our lawyers, participate in team projects, and contribute to real tasks for various clients. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Participating in negotiations
  • Working on written submissions and advice letters
  • Conducting research tasks
  • Supporting the creation of publications and expert opinions

You will be assigned a personal buddy, a lawyer who will provide optimal support throughout your internship.

In addition to the practical experience, you will have the opportunity to attend interesting lectures, Q&A sessions, and workshops. Our social programme ensures that you can interact with interns from other locations and get to know the people who make up Freshfields.

We invite you to a two-day kick-off and closing event, and we will cover your travel and accommodation costs. Your internship will also be remunerated.

Throughout the internship, you will build valuable contacts and develop your skills further - professionally, personally, and far beyond the legal field.

Important note on application: Please upload all application documents - such as CV, intermediate examination certificate, high school diploma, and cover letter - in a single PDF document. This is crucial for the correct and speedy processing of your application.
