Internationality and law in mind already in high school

“I like working at P&H because here all employees are supported in their professional development. Moreover, we have a low hierarchy and a nice work community. In addition, it is nice to notice that I am increasingly more able to help, for example, younger colleagues. I received the same kind of support here during my traineeship and have always appreciated it.”
