JURAcon Frankfurt

JURAcon is a specialised career and networking fair for lawyers that deliberately sets itself apart from traditional recruitment events. Held annually in spring in Frankfurt am Main, it has become a fixture in the legal careers calendar.

The venue is the modern Kap Europa conference centre in the heart of the Rhine–Main metropolitan region. The event is organised by IQB Career Services GmbH, one of Germany’s leading providers of legal recruitment and career events.

In terms of content, JURAcon focuses on entry into the profession, strategic career planning and the development of legal skills. Attendees gain practical insight into traineeships, graduate programmes, internships and direct-entry roles. This is complemented by a comprehensive conference and coaching programme featuring presentations and workshops on applications and self-presentation, soft skills, legal tech, artificial intelligence in the legal market, and current trends in legal careers. The fair therefore offers not only guidance, but also immediately applicable know-how for the next steps in one’s career.

The exhibitors primarily present services in recruitment, talent development, legal training and further education, as well as academic programmes such as LL.M. degrees. They range from law firms of all sizes and the legal departments of well-known companies to professional bodies, the public sector, and providers from the education and legal tech fields. The audience is equally diverse: law students, trainee lawyers, newly qualified lawyers and early-career professionals attend to build targeted contacts, speak directly with HR decision-makers and, in some cases, take part in pre-arranged interviews.

A defining feature of JURAcon Frankfurt is the direct, peer-level interaction with employers. The emphasis is on face-to-face conversations, individual career advice and practical insight, rather than anonymous application processes.

Located in Frankfurt am Main, one of Germany’s most important economic and financial centres, JURAcon also reflects the city’s significance as a hub for the legal labour market. Kap Europa is centrally situated, well connected to public transport and easily accessible from both the main railway station and Frankfurt Airport. This makes JURAcon Frankfurt an ideal setting for an event that does more than explain legal careers—it actively helps to shape them.

The JURAcon will take place on Friday, 20. March 2026 in Frankfurt.
