As part of this agenda, our firm offers associates and interns lectures on legal and other topics, sports classes, recreational outings, departmental and firm trips and an abundance of other events.
We offer several programs promoting the professional aspects of work in the firm, as well as cultural and recreational events to help our employees maintain work-life balance.

Barnea School: We offer free courses on a variety of topics, such as English, Excel, legal and financial knowledge, upskilling, etc., which are suitable for all of the firm’s employees – from the administrative staff to the partners.

Senior associate training program: We believe in cultivating the next generation of partners in the firm and in the growth of prominent attorneys from our existing team. To this end, the firm offers a senior associate training program to enhance their managerial and leadership skills and their interpersonal and professional competencies.

Forum for the advancement of women: Our being cognisant of the unique challenges facing women in the professional world, we formed a forum dedicated to the personal and professional development of women in our firm.

New parent support program: In order to give new parents the time they need to adjust and make their return to work after the birth of a child easier and more convenient, the firm offers financial support to women who extend their maternity leave, grants an additional five days of vacation to every new father who is not the primary caregiver, and various other benefits for new parents.

Pro bono: We believe that besides being a leading business entity, it is our duty to take broad and comprehensive action for the benefit of society. Therefore, we volunteer in schools, in NPOs and in soup kitchens and combine our legal skills with active social involvement.
For example, after the Hamas attack on Israel, our firm launched a legal support “hotline” to provide initial legal responses to residents of the western Negev and to residents of communities near Israel’s borders that are on the front lines of the war. Our firm is also assisting the Children of Light Association, an NPO dedicated to families whose loved ones were murdered at the Nova Festival and to survivors of that massacre.

Internships: Barnea’s interns are an integral part of the firm, both professionally and socially. Our interns meet with clients, participate in meetings and in brainstorming sessions to formulate legal strategies, attend court hearings and are involved in all stages of cases under their responsibility. The firm seeks ambitious interns who are hungry for knowledge and are interested in professionalizing and advancing their careers in law. To this end, the firm provides them with a rich and varied toolbox – workshops in legal writing and research, lectures, and more.
