To become a Danish lawyer, one must, generally speaking, have a Masters of Law from a Danish university followed by 3 years employment as a junior associate in a Danish law firm.

At Bech-Bruun, we have a particular training program for junior associates, whereby junior associates move departments after one and half years of their training contract. In this manner, we ensure that each junior associate receives broad, high quality legal training during the course of his/her three year training contract.

Work tasks vary in size and complexity according to which legal field the particular department, in which the junior associate sits, specialises. Junior associates undertake both concrete, independent case handling and case handling as part of a larger case matter, with respect to which numerous lawyers assist.

In addition to the obligatory education program for junior associates provided by the Danish Law Society, Bech-Bruun offers its junior associates the opportunity to participate in its internal education program, where instruction is provided in working as a junior associate at Bech-Bruun.
