Nik Krasniqi

Nik Krasniqi, student and research assistant at BestIP between 16 December 2019 and 31 December 2024:

The firm was always flexible and supportive, especially during the time of my state examination. My tasks developed steadily over the years. In the beginning, I was involved in digitizing and archiving case files, organized other students working in the firm and took on organizational tasks. Later, as a research assistant, I worked on trademark matters, reviewed evidence, assisted in opposition and appeal proceedings and immersed myself in extensive legal research.

I particularly appreciated the collegial atmosphere, the opportunity for further training and the exciting insights into trademark law. Looking back, this time was an extremely valuable experience, not only professionally but also personally.

After his time at BEST Rechtsanwälte Mr. Krasniqi joined a renowned commercial law firm in Frankfurt.

Adèle Jantzem

Adèle Jantzem, student assistant at BestIP between 11 March 2024 and 31 July 2024:

After three years of law studies in France, I had the opportunity to continue my path in Germany with an LL.M. in Business Law at the Johannes-Gutenberg University in Mainz, which allowed me to specialize in French-German law. During this time, in my function as a student assistant at BEST Rechtsanwälte, I got to know a benevolent and dynamic team in which the attorneys listened to and were actively involved with the students. The friendly atmosphere, which was even enhanced by regular events, made the work all the more rewarding. For six months, I carried out research and administrative tasks under their supervision. Their openness to international students is a real advantage.

I highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for an educational and fulfilling experience and wish the firm the best of success!

After her time at BEST Rechtsanwälte Ms. Jantzem completed her bilingual Master’s degree in the field of economic law at Johannes-Gutenberg University in Mainz and returned to France to complete her training to become an attorney.

Arianna Ghersi

Arianna Ghersi, student intern at BestIP between 1 July 2024 and 31 July 2024:

During the month of my internship, I had the opportunity to observe with great interest various tasks carried out by the firm. These include researching and comparing information, communication between the firm and the client, the accounting department and much more. I then conducted various research activities, as well as the digitizing and archiving of legal documents with which I was entrusted. I was welcomed in a warm, helpful and professional environment, where I also had the opportunity to improve my German language skills, with the substantial support of my colleagues.

Doing my first internship in this firm was a wonderful experience that taught me so much and enriched me on a personal level. I will always be grateful to everyone for this opportunity.

After her time at BEST Rechtsanwälte Ms. Ghersi attended a guest semester at a high school near Münster and returned to Italy to complete her trilingual A-levels in business and law.

Daniel Pacheco

Daniel Pacheco, legal trainee and research assistant at BestIP between 1 July 2022 and 30 March 2023:

Although I had little experience in industrial property law (or IP law in general) when I started my traineeship, I was involved in ongoing matters of the firm from day one. Through my diverse and varied tasks, I was always guided thoroughly by my mentors. Thanks to the open-door policy at BestIP, I never had the feeling that I was being thrown in at the deep end, despite the sometimes very challenging tasks. When preparing for the oral exam, I realized that my mentors had chosen my tasks carefully and with a particular focus on the second state exam. Thanks to my time at BestIP, I was already familiar with many relevant problems that were discussed in the accompanying working group for the final stage of my clerkship (specialization in commercial law).

Due to the very positive experience at BestIP, I can recommend the law firm to anyone who wants to gain a sound insight into legal practice and the field of industrial property law.

After his time at BEST Rechtsanwälte Mr. Pacheco completed his legal clerkship at the Regional Court in Hanau, successfully passed his second state examination and is as licensed attorney active in the field of tax law ever since.
