Research Assistant (m/f/d) Dispute Resolution

About us

With more than 400 lawyers across our offices in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart, Brussels and London, Gleiss Lutz advises clients on all aspects of business law. Our full service approach delivers top-tier advice across the spectrum. We are renowned for our in-depth and pragmatic approach to solving the most complex legal challenges – and for our uncompromising commitment to quality. 

We are seeking research assistants (wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter) (m/f/d) to join our Dispute Resolution (Arbitration) practice at our Stuttgart office.

Our practice focuses on representing clients from Germany and abroad in complex disputes before courts and arbitral tribunals. We analyse complex, difficult matters in depth, assess them from a legal perspective, develop litigation strategies and put them into practice. 

Your role

You’ll work closely with our lawyers and assist on ongoing client work. The role focuses on international civil procedural law and arbitration law, on disputes relating to M&A transactions and on general contract and liability law. A significant part of our work concerns cross-border matters, meaning that private international law and international investment protection law also play a key role. In addition to traditional litigation, the role also includes advising our clients on all types of contentious situations.

You can start at any time – during your university studies, your doctorate, or while completing your practical legal training.

Your profile

  • First (or first and second) state examination(s), each with a grade of fully satisfactory (vollbefriedigend) or better
  • Very good command of English
  • Interest in business-related issues and challenging work
  • Enthusiasm for applying innovative technologies in the legal profession
