MORE
THAN A COLLEAGUE
At KWR, we see ourselves as more than just a successful commercial law firm with over 100 lawyers and staff. Rather, we see ourselves as one big family in which mutual respect, friendly interaction and individuality are of utmost importance. That is why we always see more in our employees than just the pure job description - namely the personality, without which our law firm would be a different one.
Pulling together
We have our own unique positive KWR dynamic, which permeates all teams within the firm and has a significant influence on the working atmosphere.
Team spirit and mutual support are consistently rated very positively by KWR employees – and we are particularly proud of this!
For us, treating each other with respect and as equals, regardless of hierarchical level, is particularly important. Open discussion is not only tolerated, but encouraged and practised.
Our collaboration is guided by KWR values:
We value the opinions of our employees highly. We want to continuously develop and respond to everyone's feedback in a concrete manner. There is no standing still with us!
This KWR culture also rubs off on our clients. That's how it should be!
Would you like some more?
Promotion is a top priority at KWR. That is why we offer our employees opportunities for further development that go far beyond the norm.
For us, it is not your profession that counts, but your interest in deepening your own skills and knowledge. Whether you are an assistant, student, trainee solicitor, solicitor or partner, no one is left behind at our firm.
Unlike many other law firms, we focus not only on the path to the bar exam, but also on the time after that. As a solicitor, you take on more responsibility – entrepreneurial thinking and action are just as important as professional and social skills! To this end, we at KWR have developed a special programme that addresses these tasks and challenges and provides prospective solicitors with the necessary tools.
Join and stay
Join and stay – that's our motto! We are particularly proud that our colleagues feel very much at home with us and remain loyal to us for a long time. We are aware that this is no longer a matter of course in today's world. That is why we are particularly pleased that our lawyers enjoy working at KWR and that some of them have already progressed through and climbed all the career stages – from trainee to partner.
It is very important to us to respond to the individual needs of our employees and offer tailor-made solutions. Whether it's studying or writing a dissertation alongside your job, educational leave or family leave – we try to make everything possible!
The advancement of women is a matter close to our hearts. At KWR, women have the same opportunities as men. The desire to have children and a family is not a criterion for exclusion for us.
We offer various flexible working models to give all employees the opportunity to combine family and career. This applies equally to mothers and fathers. We are proud that we already have three female partners at KWR who are all mothers and able to pursue their careers successfully. And hopefully this is just the beginning.
We don't want to be just a training phase in a CV, we want to actively help shape careers. Everyone should have the opportunity to develop their full potential at KWR. That's why we create sufficient prospects for our employees' personal development.
In addition, we listen to our employees and are delighted that they help us to further expand the KWR brand.
