We are Herbert Smith Freehills, a leading, full-service, global law firm working on some of the world’s biggest cases. With award-winning expertise in multiple fields, our progressive approach sets us apart.
Inclusivity is our defining characteristic: here, you will be a part of everything. By combining perspectives and potential from diverse backgrounds, we’re able to view and practise law differently. This bold fusion allows us to break new ground, whether it’s a complex international dispute or a billion-pound, cross-border deal.
