Careers in Frankfurt

We are looking forward to receiving your application in German or English via e-mail.

German-Qualified Lawyers (m/w/d)

We are actively recruiting German-qualified lawyers to join our expanding German law practice in Frankfurt. Applicants for German associate positions must have completed the second Staatsexamen (and should have passed each exam at a fully satisfactory level/Prädikatsexamina) and should be able to demonstrate an interest in commercial and business matters. A German doctorate degree and/or an LL.M. degree is desirable but not essential. Lawyers who wish to write or finish their German doctorate degree during their time as an employee at the Firm can do so with a successfully tested, flexible working time model. We also support employees who wish to deepen their understanding of international law by completing an LL.M. degree in Anglo-American jurisdictions. Secondments to our international offices or with one of our clients are also possible.

Additionally, every year we give about 10–15 Law Clerks/Referendaren (m/w/d) and Trainee Lawyers/Wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeitern (m/w/d) and an equal number of Interns/Praktikanten (m/w/d) the opportunity to get to know us before they embark on their professional careers.

US-Qualified Lawyers

We are particularly interested in recruiting U.S.-qualified lawyers with German language speaking skills for the Frankfurt office. Typically, lawyers would begin in one of our U.S. offices or in London before being assigned to the Frankfurt office. Interested summer associates may also be given the opportunity to work in the Frankfurt office for a portion of the summer. Applicants for U.S. associate positions must be enrolled in or have successfully completed a U.S. J.D. or U.S. LL.M. program.

The Frankfurt office’s small size allows an integrated working environment and office culture. Associates and partners work closely with client and transaction contacts from the very beginning of every relationship. Further, we are part of an integrated European advisory practice that combines the team spirit and hands-on approach of a small entity with the prowess and the infrastructure of a worldwide market leader.

From day one, lawyers in the Frankfurt office can expect exceptionally challenging tasks and a high degree of responsibility, complemented by internal and external training sessions and seminars.

We are actively recruiting at the entry level and are open to applications from lawyers with professional experience.

Proficiency in German is required.
