Working as a lawyer
Our work is as diverse as the people who make up our team. Depending on the department you work in, you will be involved in a variety of legal areas, both case-related and conceptual: drafting and reviewing contracts and advising our internal clients on specific legal issues. Alongside this, you may also be involved in other activities such as the development of policies and the drafting of model contracts. You will also have the opportunity to raise awareness of legal issues in the underwriting process, compliance and data protection among colleagues from different departments through internal training sessions.
"The respectful interaction within the team and the friendly corporate culture made my move to Hannover Re much easier. The variety of my tasks allows me to deal with a wide range of legal issues and to develop my skills on an ongoing basis, for example by attending seminars. I particularly appreciate working in a globally oriented company with staff from different disciplines and countries. This results in a wide variety of perspectives."
