Occupational Fields

Advantages as a Graduate of the Dual Business Law Programme

As a junior employee who combines studies with an occupation, you are an asset to every company. This is because you gain practical experience early on and can apply the specialised knowledge acquired during your studies directly in the company. Conversely, the occupational activity and the concrete application help you to better understand the theoretical content of your studies.

You gain an advantage because you have already become acquainted with the company, its structures and processes during your studies and have made contacts. The company also gets to know you early on and can promote you in a targeted manner. From the very beginning, you take on responsibility and are gradually introduced to management positions. This way, nothing stands in the way of a successful career start. Our cooperation partners aim to continue employing you as an excellently trained specialist and to offer you a job after graduation.

Working as a Business Lawyer

As a business lawyer, you work at the interface between business and law. It is not possible to work as a lawyer or judge; for this you must complete a traditional law degree. Your future employers will be in the industrial, commercial and service sectors. In addition to working in typical companies, it is also possible that you will work for a tax consultancy and auditing firm, management consultancy, bank, insurance company, credit institution, financial services provider, business association or chamber, real estate company or public administration. If companies are insolvent and go bankrupt, this is called insolvency. This is handled by a state-appointed insolvency administrator, who ultimately decides whether the company is to be reorganised or dissolved. You can provide support here and, if necessary, take over this office yourself later on. Working as a business lawyer is a good alternative for you if you are interested in legal areas but do not want to work as a lawyer or judge and you also want to deal with economic issues.
After graduating, you will be qualified to prepare and implement commercial processes and business decisions on a legal level.

The Tasks of Business Lawyers are very Diverse:

Drafting of contracts of all kinds (e.g. purchase agreements, rental agreements, contracts for work and services, loan agreements and employment contracts)
Contract management, e.g. preparing the conclusion of contracts
Tasks in connection with the takeover or dissolution of a company
Conducting negotiations, e.g. with suppliers and customers
Contact for legal issues
Legal support for national and international projects
Settlement of claims and drafting of contracts and tariffs with insurance companies
Supervision of competition, trademark and licensing law matters
Tasks in the field of tax planning and tax consultancy
Cooperation and independent assumption of insolvency administrations

This exemplary list shows that you can take on demanding professional and management tasks after graduation.
