Administering cross-border estates and handling inheritance disputes, including representation before probate courts, authorities, and co-heirs

Fully qualified lawyer admitted to the bar in Germany (Rechtsanwalt – m/f/d)
Excellent command of English, written and spoken (at least C1 level) ), enabling you to communicate precisely and professionally in both legal and client-facing contexts
Drive to understand and navigate international and cross-border legal issues, especially in the German-Canadian setting
Team spirit, strong communication skills, and openness to intercultural collaboration

Why Join Us?
Our cases are unique. They require exceptional people. We offer:
Quality over volume . We don’t chase hours. We work precise, thoughtfully—and to a high standard.
Direct line, not hierarchy. You speak with clients , not through layers. Decisions are made as a team.
Own your case . If you take a matter on, you own it—with room to shape strategy. No rigid playbooks, no big-law micromanagement.
Learning by doing—done right. No months of watching from the sidelines; you get real mentoring from experienced lawyers.
Canada connection included. Our cases cross borders, and our team is bilingual – or more. English and German are part of daily practice, along with openness and teamwork.
Work-life reality . Regular working hours, predictable evenings, and a culture that values life beyond the office.
Downtown Schwabing . We’re right in the middle—ice-cream shops, restaurants, and shops on the doorstep. Perfect for lunch or after work.
Easy commute . Subway, tram, and buses are just steps away.
