Young Ukrainian lawyers specializing in civil, commercial and economic law have the opportunity to take part in an internship program in Germany. The program is organized by the International Legal Cooperation Foundation (IRZ) in cooperation with the Federal Chamber of Advocates and the German Bar Association.

Seminars for the program participants and internships at a law firm will take place in Bonn from August 22 to September 27, 2024, the IRZ Foundation reported.

The organizer said that preference will be given to candidates with experience in advocacy. However, applications will also be accepted from trainee attorneys who are completing their professional training. At the same time, a prerequisite for a successful internship is fluency in German, including knowledge of legal terminology. Therefore, applicants should be prepared to pass the test.

Attorneys who already work for a law firm operating in Germany, have offices there, or are affiliated with a German law firm will not be eligible to participate in the program.

Ukrainian attorneys wishing to take advantage of the internship abroad should contact the IRZ Foundation by May 10 and send a completed application form, photo, curriculum vitae, and proof of German language skills (certificate, diploma, etc.) to tenhaft@irz.de.

The organizers of the event will cover all expenses:

  • accommodation and meals during the introductory and final evaluation seminars;
  • transportation from the place of the introductory seminar to the internship and from the internship to the place of the final evaluation seminar;
  • accommodation at the internship placement;
  • covering everyday needs during the entire internship period in the amount of 550.00 euros.

Given the situation in Ukraine, the German side is also willing to cover the travel expenses of the selected intern(s) to and from Germany.

More information about the internship can be found in the program description.

Increased pressure on lawyers means a deterioration in the human rights situation in the country

Recent legislative changes to the mobilization and military registration procedure have introduced additional responsibilities for men liable for military service. In particular, they have until July 16 to update their data. However, representatives of the TCC are not waiting for this date. Already today, they are demanding to see the relevant confirmations during the checks of military registration documents. This leads to conflict situations and, consequently, human rights violations.
