We have started off as a relatively small team of lawyers. The market surely provides room for growth. However, we do not intend to increase in size just for the sake of becoming a large firm. We will only want to grow if we can find the right people who: 

• share our values, our drive to succeed and the pride we take in our work
• are bright and intelligent lawyers interested in developing their skills
• are creative and energetic and can work well under pressure
• commit to working hard and delivering clients the best service possible
• have the potential to rank among the best lawyers in the market

Work at Hillbridges requires a great deal of individual commitment and a drive to succeed. It is often very demanding, both intellectually and in terms of the time and effort that is required from lawyers and staff at all levels. The reward is the accelerated development of technical skills and praise from satisfied clients as well as from your colleagues and, ultimately, from taking pride in a job well done. Nevertheless, we acknowledge this magnitude of personal commitment and dedication and take care to monitor and minimise potential adverse effects. 

If you think you would like to become a part of our team, then you are most likely looking to: 

• join a dedicated team who respect each other and like to work together
• work in a fast-paced and demanding environment
• play an active role in the most interesting deals in Slovakia and the wider region
• learn and develop your skills to become one of the best lawyers in the market

What they said about the internship

"Nine weeks at Hillbridges changed my career path and exceeded all my expectations of an internship in the legal sector in Slovakia. I was accepted as a full-fledged part of a dynamic team of lawyers and trainees from day one. The assignments I worked on were intellectually and time consuming, but extremely enriching and educational. Throughout the internship, I was always welcomed to talk to partners, associates or junior associates, and everyone was willing to help me, whether it was with assignments or with career dilemmas." 

Jana Šikorská, an intern at Hillbridges in 2018 (University of Exeter)

"It was a great opportunity to work alongside great professionals and experts, from whom I had the opportunity to learn something new every day and at the same time I felt that I was a full part of a team that is always willing to help."  

Róbert Košala, an intern at Hillbridges in 2021 (London School of Economics and Political Science)

"My internship at Hillbridges was very stimulating thanks to the people around me and also the tasks assigned to me. I have never felt like an ordinary intern, but a full member of the team. To share an office with a senior associate who had time for me and was willing to help or advise me was very helpful and enriching." 

Nela Štefanigová, an intern at Hillbridges in 2019 (Sciences Po Paris/Trinity College Dublin)

"My internship at Hillbridges was a great experience that helped me prepare for a traineeship at a London law firm." 

Žaneta Sedíleková, an intern at Hillbridges in 2016 (University of Glasgow/University of Cambridge)

“The internship at Hillbridges was my third work experience during my studies of international law, after having previously practiced in the public sector and in the start-up environment. It was a key experience that helped me to decide to return to Slovakia after studying abroad; I returned to the Hillbridges team to work as a full time trainee two years later. Working at Hillbridges has brought me valuable personal and professional growth and I know that when you join the Hillbridges team, you can expect dynamic work on interesting and challenging projects from a variety of commercial and non-commercial areas. More importantly, you can expect the support of an experienced team.”

Anna Mária Urbanová, an intern at Hillbridges in 2017 (The Hague University of Applied Sciences)

"Before the internship at Hillbridges, I did not even think about returning home and working as a lawyer in Slovakia, but after completing nine weeks at Hillbridges, I am actively considering returning and I can certainly imagine a career in Slovak corporate law. "
