Career at Streichenberg
Streichenberg offers trainees twelve months of practical preparation for the bar exam. While university courses impart the necessary theoretical knowledge in isolation, the job of an attorney-at-law requires the ability to interlink different fields of law as well as an in-depth understanding of the legal context.
The key points of the requirements profile for an internship can be found on the Streichenberg website. What else does a trainee at Streichenberg need to bring with them?
A legal trainee should possess strong communication skills, the ability to work in a team, and quick comprehension abilities. Additionally, initiative and a positive, solution-oriented attitude are beneficial.
What activities can you carry out as a substitute and what do you learn from them?
As a legal trainee, you assist lawyers in the preparation and handling of cases. Typical tasks include drafting legal documents, researching legal issues, attending court hearings, and supporting case management. Through this, you learn how to address legal questions in a practical manner, structure complex matters, and understand the strategic approach to managing cases.
What are your expectations for your time at Streichenberg?
I expect to gain valuable practical experience and insights into the daily work of a lawyer. Additionally, I hope to deepen my legal knowledge and develop new skills through responsible tasks. I am particularly excited about learning from experienced lawyers, being involved in interesting cases, and expanding my understanding of various areas of law.
What expects junior associates at Streichenberg?
Trainees at Streichenberg are not assigned to just one partner; instead, they can get involved in all areas and are actively encouraged and guided. This gives them a broad insight into the different fields and activities. They have contact with clients and authorities, learn what is needed for a court brief, and how to compose a successful legal document. This requires a desire to learn, flexibility, and absolute reliability.
