Freshfields Training Contract: Motivational Interview Explained

With more than 2,000 lawyers across 17 countries and over £2 billion in revenue in 2024, Freshfields combines deep London roots with a strong global platform. Its recent US expansion, including offices in New York, Washington DC, San Francisco, and a new Boston office opening in 2025, has sharpened its competitive position in private capital and life sciences. From a training perspective, Freshfields offers a distinctive eight-seat, two-year training contract, with most trainees seconded abroad in their final six months. The London–Asia Group also provides a structured pathway between London and Hong Kong. In motivational interviews, Freshfields assesses qualities such as determination, genuine interest, and commercial awareness.
