Description

We are seeking a trainee lawyer to join our Antitrust, Competition and Economic Regulation team. As a trainee lawyer, you will work seamlessly across practice groups, countries and time zones, collaborating with colleagues from different backgrounds and expertise.

Our team advises national and international companies on all aspects of cartel law, including defending against cartel fines, accompanying challenging transactions before the Federal Cartel Office and the European Commission, and representing companies in cartel-related damages claims.

We offer:

  • Diverse development opportunities through our HLC Next trainee program, including personal mentoring, on-the-job training, support for preparing for the second state exam, practice insights, interactive skills trainings, and numerous networking events
  • Flat hierarchies and a valuing and entrepreneurial work atmosphere
  • Employee networks such as Pride+, Global Ability Inclusion Network, or women's networks
  • Various events on professional, social, and economic topics
  • Extensive wellbeing offers

Ideally, you have:

  • At least a satisfactory first state exam at a German university
  • Interest in economic contexts and processes
  • Ideally, prior knowledge in the field of cartel law (but not a requirement for application)
  • A scientific assistant position is also possible during a doctorate.

We value a culture of appreciation and diversity in our law firm. We welcome all applications - regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion/worldview, disability, age, and sexual orientation/identity.
