Our client base comprises most of the top 100 corporations in Australia and we have an unyielding focus on providing you with the highest quality training at all stages of your career.

The combination of high profile work and clients, challenging projects, and working closely and learning from some of the most respected lawyers in the industry, together with an atmosphere fostering continuous learning opportunities gives all Freehills people—both legal and business services staff—an edge in their career development.

We pride ourselves on being a highly progressive firm with regard to our business processes, use of technology, management of staff and the areas of law we service. We are consistently ranked in leading positions for each area of law in which we practice, and we are continually developing new ways of doing business to take advantage of the latest in management thinking and technology.

Our size enables us to offer you a broad range of in-house services, including a copy centre, graphic design team, events management team and state-of-the-art conference rooms to make it easier for staff to achieve their desired results.

We differ from other corporate law firms in our ability to remain highly professional, yet relaxed and familiar. All our partners operate with an open-door policy, encouraging staff to approach them at any time for guidance and support. This approachable atmosphere was fostered from the time the firm was established. Today, we continue to offer a working environment where our people are treated with respect, supported and trained, and expected to perform at a superior level.

The diversity among staff is also a unique feature of Freehills. Our partners are a mix of men and women, young and senior partners. Many are also achievers outside of work: Olympic athletes, winegrowers, university lecturers and even members of successful rock bands. Our partners are not only mentors at work, but also mentors in life.

As a staff member, a work-life balance is critical. To encourage you to combine work within a balanced lifestyle, Freehills hosts information forums, such as Parents Network and First Home-Buyers seminars, and sponsors staff to participate in sporting and community events. In addition, we offer you a huge range of staff benefits, from corporate gym memberships to discounted shopping, entertainment and travel.

Above all, people choose Freehills because they relate to our core values of fulfilment, teamwork, excellence and commerciality—attributes which have been the foundation for our continued success for over 150 years.
