- Employment Law: Advise on German employment matters, including works council engagement and equity schemes.

- External Partnerships: Manage relationships with external German counsel to ensure high-quality, cost-effective support.

- UK & Cross-Border Support: Draft and negotiate UK commercial contracts (tech, data, and partnerships) and act as a strategic bridge between UK and German business functions.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
