We are interested in fully qualified German Lawyers or Rechtsanwälte who have completed their exams with extraordinary success and have an excellent knowledge of the English language.
In the London offices, our clients seek lawyers qualified to practice in the U.K. as Solicitors of the Supreme Court of England and Wales.
We actively recruit associates and stagiaires who have completed their legal studies in France and are admitted or about to be admitted to practice law in France as Avocats. Many associates also hold degrees from top French business schools (such as HEC, ESSEC, and ESCP-EAP), political sciences schools (Instituts d'études politiques) and/or LL.M. from a U.S. or British law school. We primarily recruit associates upon the completion of the entry examination for the Ecole de Formation du Barreau. Fluency in the English language is essential. Paris offices also hire lawyers who have completed their formal legal training in other countries, such as Germany.
Our major clients are hiring attorneys fluent in English in addition to French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin, Korean, Russian and Arabic.
