Role Summary

About Us

Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is a major international law firm, providing business law advice of the highest quality. We want to be the law firm that clients turn to for legal advice where it matters most, wherever in the world that may be. We deliver seamless service across borders, cultures and languages, and Freshfields’ MENA practice is central to this vision. Whatever your area of expertise, this is a place where you can be yourself and really flourish.

Practice Area

Our focus is on risk management and the resolution of disputes for our clients. The globalisation of business has resulted in more cross-border risks and disputes requiring high quality and co-ordinated advice. The increased wealth and dynamism of Middle Eastern economies over the last decade has spurred a significant expansion in cross-border investment and trade involving countries in the region. This, in turn, led to a dramatic increase in the number of cross-border risks and disputes involving the Middle East, which in 2009 led the firm to establish a dispute resolution practice based in Dubai.

There are three pillars to our dispute resolution practice:
- Commercial disputes: commercial arbitration, investor-State dispute settlement (investment treaty arbitration), DIFC/ADGM court litigation, managing onshore local litigation across the region and risk advisory work;- Major projects: construction arbitration, major projects structuring and contract negotiation and risk advisory work;- Global investigations: internal investigations, regulatory investigations, risk assessment and compliance related advice and general risk advisory work (covering business ethics and integrity issues and corporate economic crime, including bribery, corruption, money laundering, sanctions, fraud, etc).

Our firm has a pre-eminent reputation in all three areas of practice.

Key Requirements- Outstanding undergraduate and/or post-graduate qualifications- English language skills to a business standard is essential- Arabic language skills to a business standard is desirable but not essential- Work experience at a leading international law firm is desirable but not essential- A demonstrable interest in international arbitration, major projects or global investigations would be advantageous
