Parents & Carers at Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer

We offer parents and carers access to resources and advice to ensure a supportive experience for those taking and returning from parental leave. Our Family Network is a forum for those with caring responsibilities to come together and share their experiences. 

We continue to enhance our market-leading parental leave entitlements including:

• In Asia, our market-leading parental leave policy allows all employees to share primary childcare responsibilities with a partner.
• In Australia, 26 weeks of paid parental leave for all eligible parents, including additional paid leave for fertility treatment and surrogacy.
• In the UK, our parental leave policy offers 12 weeks' paid leave for co-parents, in addition to full pay for mothers during the first 24 weeks of parental leave or adoption. We also provide neonatal care leave for all parents. 
• In EMEA, we have a range of parental leave policies to mirror the local market.
• In the US, all eligible employees, regardless of parenting role, are entitled to 12 weeks' paid parental leave, in addition to any paid disability leave relating to pregnancy and/or delivery.
