Working for CMS Hasche Sigle
The early bird…
You have worked hard. You completed your course with flying colours and acquired special
qualifications. You have earned the chance to put your skills into practice. CMS Hasche Sigle
provides this opportunity.
Our clients expect the highest level of legal support. This is what they are accustomed to from us and they associate this service with familiar faces. We think it is important that this remains the case in future. Our young professionals work independently from the start and have direct contact with clients.
However, taking responsibility for your work does not mean we leave you to deal with tricky issues on your own. For clients with complex affairs, teams of lawyers are formed from across all relevant practice areas. A partner coordinates the work, thereby ensuring the client receives effective, tailored support.
… has a chance of making partner.
Partnership is clearly a goal for all associates. We help you achieve this objective.
Mentoring from an experienced partner, an individual training programme and regular feedback
sessions form part of the five to seven-year pathway to partnership. A partnership is an attainable
objective and will remain so in future. Indeed, it is because we are convinced of your ability to
become a partner that we hire you in the first place.
Employment requirements
Hard facts, soft skills
The employment criteria at CMS Hasche Sigle are demanding but straightforward: you will be ambitious and have consolidated your outstanding legal training with an honours degree. Your general level of education is good and you have a strong command of English.
An LL.M gained abroad is a welcome additional qualification but is not an entry requirement. A doctorate is also not essential. Ultimately, it is not grades and titles that matter – what is important is how you fit in with our team as a person.
For us, this means that in addition to legal skills you are able to convince us of your commitment, team-oriented approach and business mindset. You will also possess excellent communication skills, engage with your environment, take responsibility for mistakes and respond well to criticism. Being able to see something through to the end is also imperative.
Remuneration
Rewarding good performance
There is little variation in salary among the large law firms. Designed to strike the right balance between performance and reward, our salaries are in line with the industry standard and will be regularly adjusted during your time as an associate.
