My path to Streck Mack Schwedhelm
Following my studies, I was already sure that I wanted to become a lawyer. Making my way to the ‘Jurday’ applicants’ day in April 2010, I had not necessarily expected to meet my subsequent employer there. However, my first contact with the firm and my future colleagues left me with a lasting impression. We remained in contact throughout my initial training and at the end of 2011, I was invited by Streck Mack Schwedhelm to complete my traineeship in their Cologne offices. A week later, I was sitting in the train returning from the interview: My positive first impression had been confirmed. After completing the three months of lawyer training I was convinced: This was where I wanted to stay! Another move was not an option – with one exception: From the trainees’ room to a lawyer’s office.
