»Referendar« trainees, research associates
The period of practical training as a »Referendar« under the German system is of vital importance for the career paths of future lawyers. That’s another reason to think carefully about how to structure this valuable time. Wendelstein constantly offers positions to trainee lawyers for the two types of training periods (Anwaltsstation and Wahlstation) that are part of the system, offering us a unique opportunity to get to know each other.
When doing your »Referendar« practical training at Wendelstein, you’ll get comprehensive, authentic insight into the day-to-day work of an international corporate law firm. You’ll work directly on cases as a full-fledged team member, participating at the highest professional level. We accord great importance to fully familiarizing practical trainees with the work in our firm. This will give you a complete understanding of the different areas in which we practice without being tied to one legal field. This allows you to deliberately discern your main areas of professional interest.
