Wanted: Lawyer's Assistance

I am looking for an amazing assistant with a legal and "migrational" background to join our team! The offered part-time position (4 hrs x 5 days) will quickly grow into a full-time job with your professional support. From day one, you will be working in an international atmosphere with clients from all over the world. This office is specialized in serving international investors and foreign employees wanting to relocate to Germany. Your job in the "front office" will be mainly to:

This is your chance to shine! You'll be the first point of contact for clients, answering the phone and taking care of their needs and wishes. You'll also get to flex your organizational muscles, arranging appointments, chasing clients, partners and offices for their input, and processing simple cases independently after some training. You'll also get to prepare applications of all kinds, run errands with agencies, manage the office in general, and be the lawyers' right hand.

I'd love to ask you a few questions!

We'd love to hear if you're a bilingual native speaker of English and German or comparable (C1 as a minimum)! It would be fantastic if you also spoke other languages like Arabic or Spanish! While they are not mandatory, they would be a great addition to your skill set.
I'd love to know if you have a degree in law!

• We'd love to know if you can work in a paperless office! This is so important!
• We'd love to hear from you if you're able to fulfill assignments reliably and independently!
• We'd love to hear if you have any experience of working inside or organizing a law office!
• We'd love to hear if you can communicate effectively and fluently with clients in English (or in your native language) and with authorities in German – in speaking and in writing!
• Are you passionate about serving the client and ready to demonstrate this in your personal interactions, whether it's face-to-face or on the phone?
• We'd love for you to help us develop the office structure further!
• We'd love to hear from you if you're interested in working with an internationally oriented lawyer and staff!
• We'd love to hear about your expat experiences and any intercultural training you've done! We'd love to see them in action!
• We'd love to hear if you have a sense of humour and can stay calm under pressure!

The great news is that working hours can be structured either on-site or from home. You'll have the amazing opportunity to work side by side with our multicultural lawyers and other fantastic staff members! We'll show you the ropes when it comes to the ins and outs of labour and business immigration, as well as company formations. The modern approach of internet technology will free up your time, so you can focus on the exciting, creative aspects of your role. We're offering you an amazing opportunity to join our team and work on exciting and fulfilling projects in a creative environment.

I'd love to read your application and CV with references exclusively in PDF format, as well as your motivation in an email. Please send me your details with a maximum of two PDF files attached to an email to ahoi[at]vonengelhardt.com. If you are German, we'd love to hear your motivation in English! And if you're not German, please share your personal introduction in German.

We are also looking for a young Rechtsanwalt who wants to start his or her own business and actively have primary financing. This is an amazing opportunity for the right person! There's future partnership on the horizon!
