As LLBʼs first trainee in Dubai, I am embracing exciting challenges. This dynamic metropolis offers not only diverse tasks but also a fascinating mix of cultures and fresh perspectives on LLBʼs international positioning.
How did it come about that, since September, youʼve been completing the final six months of your trainee programme in Dubai?

How were you welcomed, and how have you settled in?
The welcome was very warm, and a brief introductory programme quickly gave me an initial overview. I soon felt integrated into the team, and they even organised a surprise party for my birthday. Iʼve also settled in well personally – it definitely doesnʼt get boring here.
What are your responsibilities?
My responsibilities are very diverse. On the one hand, I support Management Middle East in areas like business and sales management, as well as risk and compliance. On the other, I am gaining in-depth insights into Investment Advisory Middle East.
What makes working in Dubai unique?
The cultural diversity within the team is impressive. With around 20 employees from various nations, it enriches everyday work and keeps things exciting. Working in the dynamic financial centre with a view of Burj Khalifa is definitely something special as well.
What are you taking away from this assignment?
I realised how essential Group-wide collaboration is. We are one LLB, and this should be reflected in our thinking and actions. Iʼll always remember the warmth and professionalism of my colleagues in Dubai. Iʼm excited to see which doors will open after this adventure – one thing is certain: the desert is anything but dry!
