Career

What we offer you

You will be involved in high-profile and complex projects from day one, where you will have the opportunity to take on responsibility. We regularly discuss complex professional issues as a team and support you in your onboarding.

The needs of our team members vary and can change at different stages of their lives. Flexibility is therefore particularly important to us. Remote work and flexible working time models are not only theoretically possible for us, but are actually a reality for many team members. We want our colleagues to work for Cattwyk in the long term and know that this is only possible with a reasonable work-life balance. We therefore do not require constant availability, nor do we set unrealistic billable targets, but instead encourage the individual motivation of our team members by offering the greatest possible flexibility.

In addition to an attractive salary, we cover contributions to the bar association (RAK), pay a daycare allowance and cover the costs of your professional development and training.

Who we are looking for

We are constantly looking for outstanding and highly motivated lawyers with or without professional experience who are keen to contribute as responsible team players in a highly specialized and motivated team. Since we advise many international clients, excellent English language skills are essential.

Cattwyk is a young law firm that wants to grow. We therefore particularly welcome entrepreneurial minds who want to develop into strong legal personalities and work with us to take our firm forward.

You are currently in legal training and are looking to gain practical experience in a specialized boutique?  If so, we look forward to receiving your application!

What we offer you

At Cattwyk, you will have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with current, dynamic areas of law in a highly specialized and qualified environment. You will be part of our team from the very beginning and will be involved in client work. A personal mentor will be available to support you and answer any questions you may have.

It is important to us that during your legal traineeship you have enough time to prepare for your state examinations. We give you the necessary flexibility to do this and also support you with free Kaiserseminare. We will also cover the costs of your Examenskoffer.

Who we are looking for

We are constantly looking for legally outstanding and motivated trainee lawyers, research assistants and interns who want to make an active contribution.
