ENGLISH VERSION

WHO ARE WE?

Freshfields LLP is a leading international business law firm, established in Paris for more than fifty years. The firm's 130 or so lawyers provide services to French and international clients (including major listed companies, investment funds and financial institutions) covering the full range of core business law practices. The Paris office is consistently ranked at the top of national and international rankings in each of its practice areas: M&A, private equity, tax, restructuring, financing, competition law, litigation and arbitration, and employment law. The firm's tax team is considered one of the leading teams in France and worldwide. The team: (i) provides transactional support, in coordination with the firm's other teams; and (ii) assists the firm's clients with their specific tax issues, both in an advisory and litigation capacity, in a national or cross-border context.


What will your role be in our firm?

You will be part of the tax team, consisting of two partners, one counsel and five associates. As an intern, you will be fully integrated into the team and will work with and under the supervision of the partners and associates. Your assignments will be as varied as the cases handled by the firm: you may be required to conduct research, participate in the drafting of tax memoranda and tax clauses in various contracts, or assist in the drafting of defence strategies in the context of tax litigation.

What qualities are we looking for in you?

You have a genuine interest in tax matters, a real enthusiasm for the prospect of completing your training with demanding practical experience in a high-level environment in order to acquire a 360° view of taxation as practised in leading business firms.

Core skills required to be a successful member of our team:

* Ability to work in a team in a spirit of mutual assistance;
* International oriented;
* Analytical mind and ability to synthesise information;
* Rigour and organisational skills;
* Excellent interpersonal and communication skills (both written and oral, in French and English).

Academic requirements:

We are looking for candidates who have passed the CRFPA (entrance to bar school) exam, have an excellent academic background in business law, hold a Master 2 degree in tax law (or are in the process of obtaining one). In addition to this, a diploma from a leading Institute of Political Studies/Business School or an LLM is particularly appreciated. Candidates must have an excellent level of English, both spoken and written, enabling them to work with ease with our international clientele and colleagues based abroad.


Ideally, the candidate will have already completed one or more internships in the tax department of a law firm or in the tax department of a large group.
