Job description

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 practice at our Stuttgart office.

Our practice focuses on representing clients from Germany and abroad in complex litigation before courts. We also work extensively on contract drafting, product liability and product compliance. We help clients establish product compliance systems, coordinate global recalls and crisis situations, and advise on new products and regulatory frameworks. ESG also plays an important role in our practice, for example through the impact of the Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains on contract drafting.

Alongside our client work, we are also highly active in publishing within these fields. Alongside a range of handbooks, commentaries and articles, we also publish two dedicated journals: ESG – Zeitschrift für nachhaltige Unternehmensführung and COVuR – COVID-19 und Recht.

Your role

You’ll work closely with our lawyers and assist on ongoing client work. You’ll conduct legal research, analyse legal issues and present your findings in a clear and structured format. You’ll also contribute to drafting, reviewing and revising pleadings, contracts and other legal documents, as well as – depending on your practice area – academic publications.

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
• A structured approach to legal analysis

What we offer

• Outstanding professional development: Active involvement in legal work, close collaboration with our lawyers, and regular feedback
• One Step Ahead programme: Comprehensive professional development with lectures, workshops, legal English courses and modern AI tools such as Harvey AI and the Jurafuchs learning app, as well as additional exam-focused offerings depending on your stage of training
• Wellbeing offerings: Access to our Corporate Health Programme, including the EGYM Wellpass
• Networking & events: Networking opportunities at after-work events and group activities to build valuable connections and gain insight into our firm’s culture

A direct route into the world of legal work – for those who want to start putting theory into practice. Apply now and join a team that embodies excellence and supports your professional growth.

We value qualification, personality, and potential. We welcome applications regardless of gender, age, disability, ethnic or social background, religion, belief, sexual orientation or identity.
