Working at Bird & Bird
I have been working at Bird & Bird since 01.03.2020 and feel very comfortable with the work. The different tasks you get as a PA offer me a lot of variety and I always learn something new and can develop myself further. The working atmosphere is very good and you can ask anything at any time if you don't know what to do.
Anna Preckel PA
As a career changer in a law firm, I first had to get to grips with the subject matter, especially when you have to work in different areas and always have to adjust to each of them anew. Nevertheless, I'm really enjoying it so far.
Niklas Vonscheidt Float Secretary
After my vocational baccalaureate, I applied for an apprenticeship as a paralegal at Bird & Bird - without knowing what exactly it was - and was accepted. The training here at Bird & Bird was the best "spontaneous decision" of my life. The expectations are high, but you also get a lot in return.

We foster a culture of belonging and mutual support — for our employees, our clients and our community.
Our inclusive culture, coupled with a diverse workforce, makes us innovative and dynamic. The ability to make connections and arrive at inspiring solutions is not to be underestimated. That is why we remain curious, create collaborative structures and work in international teams. We give our clients access to a whole world of expertise, as we give each of our employees their own voice. We encourage our Birds to be themselves and to develop themselves at all stages of their careers.
We care about minimising the impact of our business on the environment.
This includes using our offices responsibly, minimising waste and recycling wherever possible.
For us, it is a matter of course to provide access to legal advice to those who need it most.
Our lawyers regularly invest time to help individuals and organisations by making their legal expertise, skills and resources available to them.
CSR is important for us, our clients and our society and thus an important part of our company wide strategy.
As a law firm with a strong brand, we take responsibility and make a difference. We work side by side with our clients to support initiatives that promote the well being of our society. Our employees volunteer, support fundraising activities and work with charities around the world.
