Our people
Approachable, supportive, inclusive.
Our team consists of more than 20 lawyers, some of whom have practised in Vietnam since 1994.
No other law firm has enjoyed continuity at such a senior level in both cities. It makes us a strong team and sets us apart from the competition.
At Freshfields, we value difference and it’s our diversity that powers us. We want everyone to feel they can belong, engage and excel. We still have more to do, and we work closely with external partners to support our goals. We’ve a wide range of initiatives and objectives across disability, gender, LGBTQ+, mental health and wellbeing, race and ethnicity, and social mobility. We’re proud of our extensive pro bono work too, because we believe everyone deserves justice and opportunity. Wherever you work, you’ll have the chance to get involved.

We want people who fit in well with colleagues and clients and who thrive under pressure.
