Heidelberg

Welcome

As the second location of the federal association Law & Legal e.V.,
we have been offering free pro bonolegal advice since the beginning of 2014.

Most often, our free legal advice covers everyday legal problems that may arise, for example, in the context with a purchase, rental contracts, or employment. However, if required, we also handle more complicated legal issues from the broadest areas of civil law.

Our work focuses on advising students, people with low incomes, non-profit associations and others in need around Heidelberg, Mannheim and Ludwigshafen.

Our team consists of law students in the advanced stages of their studies,

members doing their legal clerkship, PhD candidates, and lawyers. In addition, our advisory association members continue their education via workshops that are organised throughout Germany in cooperation with law firms. This enables us to offer comprehensive, high-quality advice.

Are you interested in our legal advice?

We look forward to your request with a short case description via our request-form.

You can find more information about our association here and the general process of counselling.

If you have any questions about Law & Legal Heidelberg, please contact our local management.

will be happy to provide additional information.

Your job as a consultant

Volunteering as a consultant at Law&Legal in Heidelberg offers you the unique opportunity to gain practical experience during your studies and to apply the theoretical knowledge you have acquired so far to a real case. In doing so, you will obtain skills that can be advantageous in your later career, such as writing comprehensible pleadings, conducting telephone calls, and settlement negotiations with the opposing party. In addition, your knowledge and commitment will benefit people in need. Finally, our members are trained by lawyers in internal qualification workshops in areas of law that are particularly relevant for legal counselling, which can also be beneficial for exam preparation.
