So you’ve already passed the first or second German state law exam and are looking for a legal traineeship? Or you’re in the middle of your doctoral studies and want some practical experience in a multidisciplinary corporate law firm? If so, we might have just what you’re looking for.
As a legal research assistant, you will be part of our multidisciplinary team from the very beginning. As well as your academic activities – like working on new issues of research publications – you can provide input into client projects and get acquainted with consulting and project work.
The experts from our various specialist areas will be there to give you the benefit of their experience and knowledge. But this also works both ways – we are always happy to learn from you and broaden our horizons.
“I would never have thought that my research work could have such a practical side. It’s great to be able to counterbalance all the theory involved in my studies by advising clients on real-life cases!”
Janina Bachmann
Research assistant (pre-legal traineeship)
“I love the flexibility when it comes to working times and being able to work from home. It’s a great way for me to combine my research work here with my doctoral studies.”
René Wellendorf
Research assistant (during doctoral studies)
“I really love how close you are to the action. Even the partners are always ready to help and enjoy learning new things themselves.”
Maria Fellenberg
Research assistant (during doctoral studies)
