You'll monitor and provide expert insights into EU regulatory developments that are relevant to the European capital markets and to companies with a debt and/or equity listing in the EU, understanding what these developments mean for our clients and practice (including in the context of M&A) and translating that into client and internal facing initiatives.

  • For Brussels: In addition to your Belgian law degree, a post-graduate degree is an asset
  • For Madrid: Completed lawyer degree (with first-class academic records)
  • For Germany: Qualified lawyer (with first and second state exams) with top-class academic qualifications
  • Proven academic achievement along with intellectual acumen
  • A high level of relevant successful experience as a fee earner or a knowledge lawyer/professional support lawyer in a transactional practice with a focus on capital markets (equity and/or debt) and corporate listings within the EU.

Inclusion

Freshfields is an equal opportunities employer and all applications received by the firm will be considered on the basis of their merit alone. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified individuals regardless of background. All offers of employment will be conditional on the candidate having/securing the right to work in the Republic of Ireland and providing the firm with evidence of that right prior to employment commencing.

Freshfields is a Ban the Box employer. We ask applicants to disclose criminal convictions only when a conditional job offer is made. A conviction does not automatically lead to withdrawal of the offer: we make decisions on a case by case basis and take a number of factors into account (e.g. the role you are applying for and the circumstances of the offence). You would have the opportunity to discuss the matter with us before we make a decision.

Please let us know if you require any support or adjustments to be made in order to submit your application to Freshfields.
