Azur awards 2016: CMS again top employer for lawyers

26/02/2016

Berlin – CMS Germany has again taken first place in the azur100 list compiled by legal publisher JUVE. Overall, this is the fourth time CMS has received the award, after 2012, 2014 and 2015, and the third year in succession. The azur editorial board created the ranking from the results of a large-scale survey of job applicants and associates, combined with facts about new appointments and salaries.

"I'm delighted with this top ranking from azur and the positive verdicts from job applicants and associates. We invest a lot in junior lawyers, who are key to the firm's growth strategy, and are pleased to see this commitment recognised," said Managing Partner Dr Hubertus Kolster. "The award demonstrates that we can recruit talented, highly-qualified individuals and retain them over the long term. We are able to do this because we offer an attractive mix of development opportunities and early responsibility as part of a tailored programme geared to individual needs, combined with flexible opportunities for career progression," added Kolster.

In its citation, the jury emphasised that the firm is continuously developing its strong training and career programmes. The jury also mentioned that the firm is popular among candidates and associates, while offering a very good starting salary. Among many positive factors, however, it was especially the commitment to growth that was crucial: no other law firm hired more high-calibre law graduates in 2015 and will do so again in the current year, said the jury.

The coveted azur awards were presented on 25 February at a festive evening event in Cologne. Since 2010, the editorial board of azur has been recognising employers who stand out as being particularly committed, based on the magazine's research into career topics and matters specifically affecting new career entrants.
