Benefits
Employees about VON ZANTHIER & DACHOWSKI
Karolina Barałkiewicz - Sokal
Partner, Attorney at law (PL)
Working for VON ZANTHIER & DACHOWSKI is the realization of my dreams and professional goals. I still feel and know that a lot of new and good things are ahead of me. I never wanted to work in an international corporation, but I wanted a medium-sized law firm with the possibility to work with German- and English-speaking clients. The team of the law firm is made up of ambitious people who set interesting goals for themselves, and at the same time are open and friendly - this creates a good atmosphere and mutual respect, and gives great opportunities for professional development.
Paula Staszak-Urbańska, LL.M.
Trainee attorney-at-law (PL)
The law firm VON ZANTHIER & DACHOWSKI is characterised by openness to changes, to the ideas of employees, to listening to their opinions on a given subject. It is a place filled with family and friendly atmosphere. A team full of energy and new ideas. Competitive salaries, which increase along with the employee's qualifications.
Dr. jur. Jan Muszyński
Attorney at law (PL)
VON ZANTHIER & DACHOWSKI is a place where I learn, work and meet nice people. It is a company with a good, casual atmosphere, i.e. distance, "no stupid questions" attitude, no dress code, but with a lot of support - you will never be left alone with the topic. Interesting in-house training and a competitive, motivating salary are not insignificant.
Justyna Chodun
Office Manager,
Finance and Accounting Specialist
I feel that I am fulfilling myself at work, that I am doing something important for the development of the firm, and at the same time it is happening without detriment to my private life. Work is a significant part of our lives, that is why it is so important to spend this time with people you like and respect, in a pleasant, almost family-like atmosphere, enjoying what you do, and that is how it is with us.

Our office is open from Monday to Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Poznan) / 9.00 to 18:30 Uhr (Berlin). We try to work an average of 8 hours a day / 40 hours a week, but we adjust our working hours to the tasks and specifics of the projects undertaken.

Is home office possible?
Yes, home office is possible, liked and supported . Its size and formula are determined by general rules that are clear to all, and individually if necessary.
How good a knowledge of German or English is required of candidates?
We work with international Clients.
In Poland (in Poznań and Warsaw) fluent English is an absolute must have. We don't hide the fact that most of our work in Poland is in German. So, the better knowledge of German on your side, the better. However, if you don't speak German fluently - don't worry. We can help you improve your skills.
In our law firm in Berlin, fluency in Polish and German is a must have. English is also welcome.
You will use all languages (Polish, German, English) in your day-to-day professional work, but also as participants and speakers during webinars and conferences. We are active members of international organisations and make active use of the opportunities they offer us.
Can I send an application even if there is no current recruitment for the position I am interested in?
We are open to new employees and co-workers - if you want to get to know us and we are not currently recruiting for the position you are interested in, please send us your CV and a covering letter to the following email addresses: poznan@vonzanthier.com or berlin@vonzanthier.com and indicate the position you would like to fill within our structure.
How long does the recruitment process take?
If we are actively recruiting, we collect applications for 3-4 weeks. We try to verify and respond to them on an ongoing basis, but the response time may be extended if there are many applications. On average, we offer a meeting within 2 weeks, after which we make a decision and submit a cooperation proposal within a week.
If you send us your CV and cover letter spontaneously, the process may take a little longer.
So don't hesitate, and contact us as soon as possible.
