• Expertise - Above-average performance in both exams is the basis of your professional expertise and is therefore generally preferred. A doctorate and/or a completed master's degree are not required, but are welcome. These qualifications can also be acquired in part-time programs at and with POELLATH.
• Language skills - A large part of our work takes place in an international market environment. Comprehensive knowledge of English is therefore desirable.

  Interesting personalities | team players | communication talents | energetic | motivated | committed | people with determination
• Personal excellence - We value a level-headed approach to each other and in relation to the outside world. Our clients appreciate our sporting ambition and our pusuit of excellence, as well as our sound judgment and prudence. Our standard is to give our best every day and to act in an exemplary manner.

• Top training opportunity - Our new recruits learn on-the-job. We encourage our employees to take part in professional training and continuing education programs. In the first three years of their careers, each advisor is expected to complete 600 hours of continuing training. There are many opportunities to do so.
• Master’s degree - For continuing education through our practice-oriented postgraduate programs (LL.M./ EMBA) at the University of Münster. Wanderlust: Master’s programs abroad are also welcome. We will support you from establishing contacts with international universities to letters of recommendation and individualized working schedule agreements.
• Practical insights - Many of our advisors do secondments in other law firms or in companies of our clients. You will gain valuable insights into companies or establish contacts with friendly law firms.
• Non-legal skills - In our four-year Non-legal Skills Program, you will learn everything that is required of you in addition to professional excellence. Project management, presentation techniques, negotiations with clients, self-management, leadership techniques, business development and the evolution of entrepreneurial skills, as well as the development of social competence – all these things make you an excellent advisor.
• Personal exchange - We learn from each other. In our internal mentoring program you will receive individualized feedback and will be introduced to our daily work routine by experienced colleagues. Meetings with all offices, training sessions and events, such as the annual training weekend and monthly jour fixes. Each event offers plenty of opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues at every career level. We see ourselves as a team where knowledge and experience are shared.

“How the various stakeholders deal with the issue of sustainability is particularly exciting because so much is at stake. The regulatory requirements for sustainability disclosure for financial products are growing faster than the corresponding demand from investors. The challenge is to do justice to highly complex interrelationships and at the same time find a practical implementation that benefits everyone.”

“Through a friend! I asked friends and acquaintances how satisfied they were in their current working environment and only considered law firms where I got a positive picture ‘from the inside’”

“I rarely see things in black and white, I like to look at them from different angles. I can therefore empathize well with other people, their points of view and interests. At the same time, that doesn’t stop me from being decisive when it comes to difficult issues.”

“The permanently increasing complexity and unfairness of the tax system. Real simplifications in the tax system are urgently needed, also to counteract a creeping undermining of legitimacy.”

“Decide on a profession and a specialization that really interests you from the heart. If that’s the case and you’re ‘on fire’ for your field, sooner or later you'll be successful professionally.”

“When I can organize my working hours and my place of work as freely as possible. That gives me the opportunity to ‘reconcile’ as many challenges as possible.”
