Job description

Trainee Lawyer Application

From Legal Education to Professional Practice

File Experience, One-to-One Guidance and Regular Feedback

We Support Your Professional Development with an Institutional Working Structure and a Master–Apprentice Culture.

We See the Traineeship as Career Planning

At Güneş & Güneş, the statutory lawyer traineeship is not merely the completion of a mandatory period. It is a period in which legal research, writing, file management, reporting and professional ethics develop in practice; a planned preparation for the profession that combines practical experience with academic rigour.

Intensive, Selective and Responsibility-Based Work

This way of working is for candidates who are willing to follow up on the work they take on, report in writing, raise their questions on time and grow within a master–apprentice relationship. Applications are concluded through mutual assessment within the limits of available places and current needs.

Paid Traineeship

We have long offered a paid traineeship for trainee lawyers who actually take part in the firm’s work. The scope of the traineeship allowance, the payment arrangements and the conditions for the period are shared openly with the candidate during the interview and acceptance process.

Candidate Profile and Working Approach

How We Work Together During the Traineeship and What We Expect

We see the traineeship as a period that links legal education with professional practice, in which research, legal writing, regular reporting and a sense of responsibility develop under master–apprentice guidance. We prefer to meet trainee lawyer candidates on the basis of the following working principles:

• 01

  Legal Research and Source Discipline

  Examining current legislation, the decisions of the high courts and scholarly opinion in depth, by the criteria of currency, reliability and relevance to the facts of the case.

• 02

  Legal Writing and Reasoning

  Putting research findings into clear, consistent and reasoned text; developing drafts of petitions, contracts and assessments together with the responsible lawyer.

• 03

  The File as a Whole and Awareness of Statutory Deadlines

  Assessing facts, documents, evidence, procedural stages and statutory deadlines not as isolated steps but within the file as a whole and its strategy.

• 04

  Responsibility, Follow-Up and Reporting Discipline

  Carrying out assigned tasks in a planned way in the spirit of “doing what you write and writing what you do”; reporting completed steps regularly and flagging possible delays in good time.

• 05

  Professional Ethics, Confidentiality and Multilingual Work

  Taking the utmost care over client secrets, personal data and information security; developing English, German or Russian (at least level B2) language skills with professional terminology.

• 06

  Master–Apprentice Culture and Continuous Development

  Valuing one’s own personal and professional growth; discussing the legal reasons for and consequences of the work prepared and carrying the feedback received into subsequent tasks.

Before You Apply

Preparing Your Application

Work Discipline · Written Reporting · Master–Apprentice Culture · Responsibility

Your education details, traineeship schedule and résumé are reviewed in light of the firm’s places for trainees and its current needs.

• 02

  Interview and Assessment Task

  Candidates who pass the preliminary review are invited to an interview. If considered necessary, a short legal research or writing task whose scope and duration are explained in advance may be requested.

• 03

  Decision and Starting the Traineeship

  For trainee colleagues who are accepted, the traineeship programme begins under the Institutional Office Handbook and the guidance of a responsible lawyer.

An Institutional Keepsake of the Traineeship

Every trainee colleague who successfully completes the traineeship is presented with a Lawyer Traineeship Certificate as a memento of this period and in thanks for their contribution to the firm.

The certificate is an institutional keepsake of the traineeship and a token of thanks for the work done; it does not replace a diploma, the bar’s traineeship completion certificate, an official professional qualification or an accredited training certificate.
