What ma­kes the work at Eb­ner Stolz uni­que for the young la­wy­ers is the close ex­change with au­di­tors, tax and ma­nage­ment con­sul­tants as well as the joint trai­ning. In con­trast to other con­sul­ting firms, the la­wy­ers do not work in si­los - a view beyond the ho­ri­zon is al­lo­wed and even de­si­red. Un­like in the past, the tax con­sul­tant exam at Eb­ner Stolz is no lon­ger a must for young la­wy­ers - there is plenty of scope to shar­pen one's own le­gal pro­file and open up new mar­ket op­por­tu­nities. Thus, the com­pany not only em­ploys clas­sic cor­po­rate and la­bor law spe­cia­lists, but also ex­perts in many other areas such as IT law, in­sol­vency law, ban­king and ca­pi­tal mar­ket law, cri­mi­nal law or even me­di­cal law.

Even un­der heavy workloads, the Eb­ner Stolz As­so­cia­tes give top marks in terms of work-life ba­lance thanks to fle­xi­ble working time mo­dels.
