In our opinion, a positive attitude to the job, enjoyment at work and a balance between work on the one hand and private life on the other are basic requirements for a successful career in the legal profession. Our work is often project-related, which means there are also times with a high workload. As a service provider, we accept this challenge. Since we all have lives outside of work, we also make time for our families, friends, sports and hobbies. Evening hockey or soccer training, going to the cinema with friends and spending time with family are the rule for us, not the exception. We are of the opinion that a lawyer can only be successful in the long term and provide excellent services for clients if there is a balance between work and private life. It is important to us to have personalities who not only have specialist knowledge, but also charisma and who can retain clients.
From day one, you will be involved in daily client work. You are part of small, partner and project-related teams. From day one, you will gain your own experience and receive direct client contact. We will gradually give you more and more responsibility so that you can continually develop. Our goal is for you to be perceived and accepted by our clients as an equal contact person.
You will receive training that is individually tailored to you. The basis for this is on-the-job training. The close connection to the partner leading the mandate ensures the transfer of technical and mandate-related knowledge. However, you don’t just work for one partner; you benefit from being assigned to a project by getting to know how all partners work.
After larger projects have been completed, we sit down with the team and talk about the project: What went well? Where can we improve? What should we possibly do differently next time?
We take internal and external training and further education seriously. We hold semi-annual, sometimes multi-day seminars with an external expert, e.g. on accounting and M&A-specific topics, alternately at our two office locations. In addition, we organize internal day seminars – also across locations – for example on tax law topics, or with specialist law firms we are friends with on topics that are not part of our main areas of activity but are repeatedly touched on in practice (e.g. antitrust law). There are also location- and subject-specific training components. In addition to professional training, getting to know and exchanging ideas with colleagues from the other location plays a major role. In addition, as part of the jointly agreed personal training program, we also enable you to attend external training events and support your participation in relevant specialist lawyer courses.
