Sponsor Events
Our partners not only help Humboldt European Law School financially through the HELS Foundation, but also organise regular events for our students. These events serve a variety of purposes, such as discovering numerous aspects of legal practice, preparing for the working world, acquiring soft skills, networking among students and with our partners, but also well-earned recreation.
Practice-related events
As a rule, at least five practice-related events are held each year with our partners. The content of these events is numerous and reflects the diversity of our partners: teaching soft skills, discovering new fields of activity or practices.
Practical workshops
Together with its sponsors, Humboldt European Law School regularly offers seminars, workshops and business games with practical relevance. In this way, students gain an insight into current topics and practical work in partner companies and law firms. This is an opportunity to talk to the sponsors, discuss specific questions and plan possible internships or stages in the legal traineeship.
The following topics, for example, have already been dealt with at practical workshops:
- Best Case of The Year at Greenberg Traurig
- Information evening on legal clerkships at Noerr LLP
- Compliance workshop at Greenberg Traurig
- Art restitution and Nazi looted art at CMS Hasche Sigle
Soft Skills Workshops
Because content and form are ultimately inseparable, we and our sponsors attach great importance to offering our students a wide range of soft skills workshops.
Other events
Concours d'éloquence franco-allemand
Since 2018, a Franco-German rhetoric competition in the tradition of the French concours d'éloquence has been organised every year at the beginning of autumn in cooperation with CMS Francis Lefebvre, ELS Students and Alumni e.V. and the Association des Juristes Européens de Paris II.
Wine tasting
Every year at the end of the academic year, our sponsor CMS Hasche Sigle invites us to a wine tasting at their offices at the Tiergarten. For some students, this is a good preparation for the upcoming year abroad in Paris or Rome.
