Legal traineeship

Full support every step of the way

At the same time, you will have plenty of practical experience. Our legal trainees are closely involved in client work and benefit from our company’s multidisciplinary outlook.

“After studying so intensively for the first German state law exam, it’s so great to be able to work in real-life situations. And especially that I’m directly involved in client work.”
