The new initiative offers career and professional development opportunities in seven European locations
ADVANT, an association of leading law firms in Europe, has launched a secondment program dedicated to its professionals.
The programme, entitled Your Road to Europe, is designed to provide more career and professional development opportunities on an international scale for ADVANT’s team of professionals, one of the association’s top strategic priorities.
Under the initiative, member firm professionals may apply for a temporary secondment, lasting between three weeks and three months, to one of seven ADVANT member firm offices in Europe.
The offices currently available are Berlin, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Milan, Munich, Paris and Rome. Applications will be considered on an ongoing basis, and candidates will be selected based on their motivation and ambition, seniority, English skills, and the department’s approval.
This program is the latest in a series of major initiatives developed since the association’s launch, announced in September 2021.
ADVANT is a European association of law firms among three leading independent firms: ADVANT Altana (France), ADVANT Beiten (Germany) and ADVANT Nctm (Italy). Altogether, the association has a combined team of more than 140 equity partners and more than 600 legal and tax professionals, and is uniquely positioned to support clients seeking to expand into continental Europe.
Guido Fauda, partner at ADVANT Nctm and one of the coordinators of the initiative, stated:
“The launch of our new secondment program represents the fulfilment of one of our strategic priorities for ADVANT, which is to make attractive professional and personal development opportunities available to our team. Competition for legal talents is fierce, and it is increasingly important that our professionals have the opportunity to broaden their horizons and experiences, as well as to get to know colleagues and peers from other firms that are members of ADVANT. Overall, our association represents a truly attractive, multinational work environment for lawyers and professionals who embrace the diversity of Europe, and this new program will help ensure a truly market-leading work experience for the best, the brightest, and the most ambitious in the field.”
