We welcome applications from all suitably qualified individuals regardless of background.

Freshfields is a Ban the Box employer. We ask applicants to disclose criminal convictions only if and when a conditional job offer is made. A conviction does not automatically lead to withdrawal of the offer: we make decisions on a case‑by‑case basis and take a number of relevant factors into account (e.g., the role you are applying for and the circumstances of the offence). You would have the opportunity to discuss the matter with us before we make a decision.
