“You will have the choice of two or three law firms. Which one you join is ultimately a question of culture. Whether we are the right one for you is something that can be decided through a discussion. You can approach any one of our partners whose practice area is of particular interest to you. Naturally, this also includes me.“
"NKF encourage les carrières académiques et me permet de concilier au mieux
la pratique du barreau, la recherche et l'enseignement à l'Université."
"NKF offers me an ideal environment to constantly expand my legal expertise and my practical experience. My field of activity is very broad but, nevertheless, allows me to delve into specific areas and to reach a specialisation in accordance with my aptness. The ability to work independently is paramount. However, I can always count on the support of the entire team."
"I appreciate working for NKF very much as I have the opportunity to fulfill a challenging job, to further my professional development and still find time for my family."
We are entrepreneurial and give individuals space. Accordingly, we seek lawyers who are confident in their abilities and creative in their thinking. To find these qualities in a lawyer, we look for academically strong candidates who are enthusiastic about the practice of law in a challenging and dynamic international setting and who are prepared to take responsibility and make use of their opportunities.
Our teams are not rigidly segmented groups, but rather flexible structures which offer every employee a “home”. Consequently, we offer you the opportunity of broadening your horizons - including working in other teams - and thus finding your area of specialisation. Our multi-specialist philosophy towards the career development of our lawyers will encourage you to have a particularly broad skills base.
Despite the size and reputation of our law firm, we are interested in you, as a young employee, coming swiftly into direct contact with clients and thus acquiring the skills that will distinguish you as a lawyer in a competitive environment. This also involves you assuming responsibility from the very start and managing our - and your - clients independently.
Our core practice areas are traditionally in banking and capital-markets law, in large and complex corporate and M&A transactions as well as in the fields of commercial law, dispute resolution, private clients, sports law and tax. We have a need for up-and-coming people in all of these areas and offer highly diverse opportunities.
If you have above average motivation and qualifications we would like to hear from you. You can approach any one of our partners personally. He or she will always be willing to listen. When it comes to the next generation of our law firm, we invest the time to look into the future with you and to explore your opportunities.
