Start your career as a lawyer with us
If you have passed your second state exam in law, you are certainly highly motivated to finally show what you can do on the job. If the areas of tax law, company law and criminal tax law are exactly your thing, you've come to the right place! We look forward to your comprehensive know-how and your determined commitment, with which you will continuously advance yourself and our law firm. You have already completed internships or a legal clerkship in our areas of law? This is a great bonus, but not a necessary condition for joining BKS Rechtsanwälte.
1 Our specialist areas of expertise make your job exciting and challenging
Tax law is often not even mentioned in law studies and, accordingly, many students do not realise that tax law advice is an area with a lot of variety and exciting cases. We prove this with our areas of specialisation, which you can take a closer look at before deciding which one you would like to pursue in the long term.
BKS Rechtsanwälte is a law firm specialising in tax law, which cooperates closely with its sister company HLB Stückmann. We specialise in the following areas of law:
- Tax planning advice incl. M&A
- Inheritance tax structuring and succession advice
- Advice on criminal tax law
- Financial litigation proceedings
- Recourse for professionals
You already know which area you feel at home in? Then we will be happy to assist you with your specialisation.
However, you will of course also have regular points of contact with other specialist areas, for example by continuously being involved in interdisciplinary projects. This interdisciplinary approach, the exchange with your colleagues and the close professional integration with HLB Stückmann ensure that you will gain valuable practical experience on a daily basis and sharpen your view of the big picture.
The deeper you immerse yourself in the exciting work at BKS Rechtsanwälte, the greater the chance that you will find exactly the career path that you are passionate about pursuing.
2 Our modern training courses and learning formats will help you gain further qualifications
You never stop learning ... This also applies to lawyers, because law and legislation are constantly changing. That's why we offer you a training concept that not only keeps you up to date in terms of professional expertise, but also provides you with valuable soft skills. This is the ideal basis for achieving the desired results for our clients.
It is very important to us that you feel at home with us very quickly. We ensure this not only with an informative introductory day, but also with several onboarding events that show you the "BKS Rechtsanwälte world". This means that you will quickly understand our processes, structures and values - which will make you think that you have been with us for a long time.
In line with the motto "learning on the job", you will of course gain a great deal of expertise with us. Equally important, however, are internal and external training courses that impart specialised contents that are especially important to you. For example, VAT law or corporate tax law can be individual focal points, while intensive English training courses benefit all staff.
Internal meetings also prove to be very effective learning tools. At these meetings, all lawyers exchange information on current topics and judgements in order to bring each other up to date. The specialist expertise discussed here makes it clear how certain cases are handled in legal practice and what needs to be taken into account.
In addition to specialised knowledge, you should also have strong soft skills in client relations and project management. We also provide you with theoretical and practical training in these areas so that you can successfully fulfil your job as a lawyer down to the last detail.
Our work is based on common values
Values can be our compass and give us orientation. Whether we follow old or new paths, values help us make decisions. In our day-to-day work and in our dealings with each other, they determine what is important to us and what is not. Together with HLB Stückmann, we at BKS Rechtsanwälte have set out in writing the values that we have lived by for many years as a triple of values. We will continue to develop these and want to jointly put them into practice.
3 With our tutoring and mentoring, you take one step at a time
Only customised vocational training makes it possible to promote and strengthen your particular potential. That is why you will have two experienced contact persons at your side - your mentor and tutor will work with you to develop career paths that suit you and will ensure that you are fully absorbed in your work with us.
When you start with us, many things are completely new. To ensure that you settle in quickly, you will be supported right from the start by a tutor who has already gained a lot of professional experience as a lawyer and has also passed a tax adviser exam. He or she will not only answer all your specialist and non-specialist questions, but will also supervise and organise your individual familiarisation. You will grow step by step with your tasks. Your tutor will closely monitor this process to ensure that it is always tailored to your potential and needs.
Which goals do I want to achieve in my career? What opportunities are open to me? You can discuss these and other questions relating to the medium to long-term course of your professional career with your mentor. This role is taken on by a partner in our law firm, who will work with you to draw up a development plan (professional exams, career) based on your wishes and ideas. In line with this, you and your mentor will agree on your main areas of work and responsibility as well as upcoming training and development steps. In appraisal interviews, your mentor will always give you helpful suggestions on how you can best achieve your goals.
4 Work flexibly in a family-like team
Teamwork at eye level and mutual trust make us strong and successful - which only strengthens our team spirit. Just as important to us is your work-life balance, which you can organise according to your needs through flexible and mobile working.
Even though we are constantly growing in terms of personnel, a personal and appreciative approach is and remains the basic building block that connects our staff and ensures a strong team spirit. It also characterises our collaboration with our Stückmann colleagues and makes us successful cooperation partners.
For work to be really enjoyable, other conditions must also be right. That's why we will of course provide you with modern office space and ergonomic workstations, but also modern IT equipment that makes digital and mobile work possible in a variety of ways. This allows you to organise your working hours flexibly and work wherever it suits you best.
Why we
definitely
need you?
Making a big difference with top performance from the outset - that is our motto. That's why we value staff who approach their tasks with passion, team spirit and initiative. The reward for this commitment is an excellent workplace and the freedom to realise your own visions.
