Legal trainee Vacancy
We are REHKATSCH RECHTSANWÄLTE, a law firm based in Cologne with a second office in Berlin. Here and there, we probably tick a little differently than the usual law firms. This is reflected in our focus. We advise clients from the media and entertainment industry throughout Germany – from influencers with millions of followers to popular and lesser-known artists who inspire their fans online and offline, to music and film producers, agencies and management who make it all possible in the first place. We also deliberately set ourselves apart as a law firm for your legal traineeship. We are a real team where you can be who you are. We deal with each other in a friendly and collegial manner and work as a specialist law firm at all interfaces of copyright and media law.
YOUR TASKS WITH US AS A LEGAL TRAINEE
You will contribute to the success of our law firm with the professional expertise you have acquired during your studies. We will provide you with a legal clerkship for the legal or elective traineeship, in which you will be able to contribute independently on the one hand and rely on professional exchange with us on the other. Your specific tasks will include the following:
– As a legal trainee, you will actively support us in solving our legal cases. You will prepare contracts, statements of claim, court documents and other legal texts and evaluate them with us. The content often involves legal matters relating to influencers, models, artists, agencies or other people or companies from the media industry.
– You will research various legal issues for our clients. You will analyze and review legal texts and court rulings from the fields of copyright, media, press, publishing, trademark, competition, sports, event and/or employment law.
– You will attend court hearings and provide our lawyers with professional support. As part of your legal traineeship, you will gain valuable insights into our negotiation and litigation work.
– At your own request, you will support us in marketing our law firm and work as part of a team to ensure that our social media channels, our blog and our business networks are filled with interesting posts and content.
– You will gain the maximum learning experience for your future professional career – from copyright and competition law to influencer and social media law. In addition, if you wish, you can work on relevant files that will help you in the second state examination at the latest (dunning procedures, enforcement, RVG calculations, etc.).
OUR OFFER FOR YOUR LEGAL CLERKSHIP
You are flexible
You are free to choose where you would like to work – either at our main location in Cologne or in Berlin, where we can also provide you with a shared room if required and subject to availability. Alternatively, you can work completely remotely wherever you feel at home. The following applies to our everyday working life: despite our core working hours, we try to organize ourselves as a team in such a way that everyone can work as flexibly as possible. Our office should be the center of our work, but we are also happy to arrange home office days with you.
We prepare you for your job
With us, you will gain an insight into all aspects of the legal work of a law firm operating in the entertainment industry. We offer you trusting cooperation with experienced lawyers who have been experts in their field of law for years. This will give you the opportunity to expand your legal network at an early stage.
We accompany you during your legal clerkship
We actively and individually support you in your professional development, for example through regular feedback meetings and the opportunity to get involved in anything that interests you. From day one, we see ourselves as your mentor and not as your employer.
You get to know a colorful industry
Our clients include a large number of different personalities and companies from the media industry. You will work with them and get an exciting look behind the scenes of the entertainment industry.
You work in an open team
Without hierarchies, we treat each other very openly and collegially at all times. We are on first-name terms and do not attach any importance to a specific dress code.
