- Advising a varied client base including investors, developers, property owners and banks.
- Working alongside lawyers in the firm’s offices abroad on cross-border matters.
- Keeping matter files accurate, well-organised and current.
What You’ll Bring
- A completed law degree (Mgr.) from a Czech law faculty.
- Ideally around a year or more of experience as an advokátní koncipient, preferably in real estate or banking and finance at an international firm.
