Together we seek to create an environment where everyone is empowered to succeed and thrive. By challenging ourselves, collaborating seamlessly, and engaging openly, we build a culture of trust, respect, and extraordinary outcomes. Empowered together, we can make a positive impact for our colleagues, clients and communities. 

We’re building a workplace where people come first

Our people are our most important asset – across generations and geographies, with different perspectives and backgrounds. We seek to ensure that people from all backgrounds – regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, socio-economic background, veteran status or other dimension of difference, can realise their ambitions with us. 

Our diversity and inclusion efforts are aligned to our purpose and values as we are working to ensure that all our colleagues can belong, engage and excel. 

This includes fostering an inclusive culture where colleagues feel supported to succeed and thrive. We are strengthening connections and engagement with colleagues, clients, and the broader community. It means focusing on fair access to opportunity, ensuring everyone is supported to reach their potential. 

Our drive for excellence underpins all we do. We seek to build global teams from a broad talent pool to enable us to deliver outstanding client service around the world. We continue to evolve and refine our efforts over time, tailoring to local need.

Our colleague networks

Freshfields’ colleague-led networks are integral to our culture - they enable connections and foster belonging. By engaging openly and supporting one another, our networks help shape a workplace where everyone can succeed. 

We have more than 10 networks globally and locally and everyone is invited and encouraged to participate in any and all of our networks.
