START YOUR JOURNEY
WITH US

Mandatory (!) prerequisites for a successful application are

• 1^st and 2^nd State Examination with at least a “fully satisfactory” (vollbefriedigend) grade
• Doctorate or willingness to write a doctoral thesis

First, we sift through the incoming applications and make a pre-selection. The remaining candidates are then interviewed twice:

The first interview is with two managing partners

Contents of the interview:

• Getting to know each other
• Comparison of the applicant’s expectations with those of SOH
• Specifics of the job
• Salary, benefits, possible start date
• Explanation of next steps
• Further questions of the candidate

Second interview

• Business lunch with the lawyers of our firm
• Final meeting with a managing partner

We have part-time arrangements for our lawyers. Six colleagues are currently taking advantage of this.

We also develop tailor-made programs for writing your doctoral thesis, e.g., a part-time arrangement or time off work for a certain period.

• We believe in the performance principle. However, it is important to us that there is time for family, friends and hobbies.
• Part-time or flexible working: We are open to accommodating individual ideas about work-life balance.
• Mobile working: We offer the opportunity to work outside the office up to six days a month. We are constantly enhancing our IT infrastructure with cloud systems and digital files.
• Where necessary, we develop individual solutions based on personal circumstances.

SOH provides personal mentoring and one-to-one support. Your mentor will work with you to determine which training makes sense for your professional development, e.g.:

• Specialist lawyer training (Fachanwaltslehrgänge)
• Support in the preparation for the notary public exam or the tax advisor exam
• Further trainings and seminars can be arranged by individual agreement

For associated partners and experienced associates, we offer coaching from an experienced expert in the area of acquisition and personal business development as part of a multi-day workshop.

We believe in working in harmony and take many steps to encourage this:

• Regular dinners for our lawyers
• Regular lunches for all employees, e.g., partner barbeques
• SOH spring party
• SOH summer party
• Christmas party

There are also a number of other benefits:

• Jobrad (bicycle leasing)
• Job-Ticket (public transport ticket)
• Weekly SOH fruit basket
• Own, modern gym in the building that is available to all employees
