Client Intake & Initial Consultation

How does an initial consultation work?

You contact us to schedule an appointment, which can take place in person, by video conference, or another format. Ideally, you provide any relevant documents beforehand. Confidentiality is always ensured. In the initial meeting, we discuss your case and, depending on urgency, immediately determine necessary steps. We also discuss our fees in advance. Typically, a fee agreement is concluded, though billing according to statutory rates under the German Lawyers’ Remuneration Act is also possible. Transparency is important, so you are informed of our hourly rates and estimated costs before the engagement.
How long does it take for ZENK to take on a new case?
Does ZENK offer an initial phone assessment?

We generally schedule appointments, which can take place by phone, video, or at one of our offices. Sound legal advice requires knowledge of the facts and clear understanding of objectives. While an initial phone call usually cannot provide a full legal opinion, we can provide concrete recommendations on next steps and strategy for your case.

Collaboration & Communication

How does communication with ZENK lawyers work?

We are flexible and adapt to your needs: consultations can be conducted by phone, video, or in our centrally located offices in Berlin and Hamburg. Much of the communication can be done via email. For transferring larger data sets, we use GDPR-compliant cloud solutions.
Does ZENK provide services to clients outside Hamburg or Berlin?

ZENK as an Employer

What opportunities does ZENK offer for legal and non-legal staff?

We regularly hire interns, trainee lawyers, and student assistants to introduce them to legal practice. Many later join ZENK as attorneys. In administration, we train legal clerks. We also welcome unsolicited applications. Current job postings and application information are available on our careers page.
What training and development opportunities are available for young lawyers?

From the start, attorneys work closely with partners, gain direct client contact, and receive support for specialization. Regular mentoring and an individual training plan in the first two years—covering external courses, master’s programs, and specialty certifications—support professional and personal development. With experience, responsibility, position, and compensation increase. Since ZENK primarily focuses on internal growth, attorneys have good prospects of joining the partnership. More information is available in our career brochure.
Does ZENK offer flexible work models?
What makes ZENK a good employer?

ZENK is characterized by a collegial, open, and appreciative working environment. Personal interaction, flexible hours, and family friendliness shape daily work life. The firm also invests in sustainable employee development through the ZENK Academy in cooperation with Bucerius Law School, providing a modern, supportive, and long-term-focused environment.
