LEGAL ASSISTANT

Legal assistants are the right hand of the attorney. They handle all non-legal secretarial tasks and support the attorney in his daily routine with their technical knowledge or work on cases themselves to some degree. Career opportunities are at hand (e.g. certified legal assistant).


Anticipated goal of the apprenticeship:

In addition to general secretarial tasks, legal assistants handle all dunning and execution as well as law of cost and fee matters that arise. They are also familiar with the most up-to-date office communication systems.

Training starts on:

September 1st of each year at our Augsburg office.


Schedule:

In addition to the general administrative duties that arise at a law firm, you will be trained in all characteristic tasks of the profession. The responsible clerk will train you on the job on a block-by-block basis. This includes the department handling fee and cost matters that prepares all billing matters - whether in accordance with hourly rates or RVG [German Lawyers’ Fees Act]. This also includes the dunning and execution department that will teach you how outstanding debts of any kind are legally enforced and collected.

You will also attend in-house and external training events - both for technical and EDP-related topics - on a regular basis.

Our training manager (who is a certified legal assistant herself) will prepare you for the interim and final examination with great care and in all detail.
