- A network among investment firms, mid-sized businesses or comparable clients that supports wider advisory work.
- A client mix with repeatable, process-friendly work across contracts, technology and data, corporate and regulatory areas, rather than only disputes.

- Fluent native German for client work and a professional level of English.
- Based in Germany.
- An exit from your current position and a client handover that can be completed in roughly six months, without restrictions that would block your clients from moving.
