About Freshfields in China

Clients in China and across the world come to us because the transaction they want to do or the problem they need to solve is complicated. And generally some very large sums of money are involved. Very few of the transactions and problems on which we advise could be called straightforward.

Everything starts with a client's commercial objectives. Our task is then to structure the deal, resolve the dispute or find a way that allows each client to thrive, grow its business and fulfil its ambitions.

Lawyers want to join us in China because they are interested in this part of the world, they are after intellectually challenging work and they want to work on high-profile transactions and problems alongside some very bright colleagues. They know that by applying their skills they can make a difference.

It's hard work. But there's little more satisfying than knowing you've taken part in such high-profile transactions.

More than 20 partners manage our work from three offices in China:
Hong Kong (70 lawyers)
Beijing (30 lawyers)
Shanghai (25 lawyers)

Demand for our skills is increasing and we are always on the lookout for new talent, whether you are an experienced lawyer or a graduate just starting out on a career in law.
