Wanted: Student Support
I am looking for an amazing assistant with a legal and "migrational" background to join our team! This part-time position can be easily performed parallel to your studies. From day one, you will work in an international atmosphere with clients from around the world. This office specializes in serving international investors and foreign employees looking to relocate to Germany.
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 by arranging appointments, following up with clients, partners, and offices for their input, and processing simple cases independently after some training. You'll also prepare all kinds of applications, run errands with agencies, manage the office in general, and support the lawyer and his "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! While other languages are not mandatory, they would be a great addition to your skill set.
- if you can work in a paperless office! This is so important!
- if you're able to fulfill assignments reliably and independently!
- if you have experience working in or organizing a law office!
- 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!
- if 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?
- if you're interested in working with an internationally oriented lawyer and staff!
- about your expat experiences and any intercultural training you've done! We'd love to see them in action!
- if you have a sense of humor and can stay calm under pressure!
We currently have a strong interest in German law students with a major in corporate and/or tax law—with or without an exam.
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 lawyer and other fantastic staff members! We'll show you the ins and outs of labor and business immigration, as well as company formation. Modern 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.
