"Challenges are what make my work so appealing."
K. Abulzahab | Administrative lawyer
The challenge
The Bonn city administration regulates the social and economic life of around 328,000 people in five departments. The resulting diversity of municipal tasks entails an equally diverse range of legal problems. The administrative lawyer should therefore have a broad knowledge of the law.
Contracts
A large number of municipal measures are put into practice via contracts. Reviewing and negotiating contracts is therefore a key focus of the administrative lawyer's work.
Understand
Most contractual partners have no specialist legal training. Explaining the legal aspects of their actions to them requires special skills, namely communicating complicated legal contexts in such a way that they are understandable without distorting or oversimplifying them.
