    show more

    The easiest and most efficient way is to use our online application form, available on our career page. There you’ll find all our current vacancies and can submit your application quickly and securely. All applications will be treated in a strictly confidential manner.

  • What should your application include?
    show more

    To give us a clear and complete picture of your background, please submit a detailed application. Ideally, this should include all relevant documents - such as a cover letter, your CV, and any reference letters from previous employers or educational institutions.

  • What does the application process look like?
    show more

    If your application is of interest to us, the first step is to invite you to an online interview. In the next step, we usually invite you to the office. You will get to know potential colleagues - perhaps even over a relaxed lunch - and both sides will have the opportunity to find out whether a professional future together could be a good fit.

    If we don't have any suitable vacancies at the time, or if we can't proceed for other reasons, you will still hear from us promptly.

  • What to expect in an interview?
    show more

    Our interviews are designed to give us a genuine impression of who you are – both as a person and as a potential colleague. We don’t use standardised tests or assessment centres, because we believe in authentic conversations.

    The aim is for both parties to speak openly about expectations, goals, and future plans, and to decide together whether a long-term collaboration feels like the right fit. Feel free to ask us anything – we welcome your questions. Transparency is one of our core values.

  • When should I apply?
    show more

    Already have a Referendar position? Great! Apply directly for your Anwaltsstation or Wahlstation and reserve your spot with us. Ideally, we recommend submitting your application 3 to 6 months in advance.
