Studio
Employment law.
Restructured.
Behrendt Legal Studio is a boutique employment law practice that combines personal counsel with structured use of AI — focused on quality, speed, and predictability.
Behrendt Legal Studio
Curated counsel. Deliberately designed.
A boutique law firm focused exclusively on employment law — founded by Markulf Behrendt after more than two decades of international Big Law practice.
The way legal counsel can be delivered is changing. Client needs are not. They remain what they have always been: excellent advice — legally, commercially, and strategically. Direct accessibility. Short response times. Personal attention. Predictability. Behrendt Legal Studio combines what is newly possible with what has always been required: acceleration through AI where it works, and personal, direct counsel everywhere else.

Clients
Companies that demand clarity.

Structure
Not a conventional law firm model.
The structure differs from conventional law firms by design.
- No fragmentation Consistent use of AI in the right places.
- No knowledge loss Client knowledge grows continuously over time.
- No re-work What has been worked through stays available.
Instead: a continuously developed knowledge base, supported by targeted use of AI, carried by personal responsibility.

A growing share of the studio’s profits is dedicated, long-term, to charitable purposes.
The development happens step by step over time. The focus is on organizations with long-term impact and reliable structure.
The decision is integral to the model of Behrendt Legal Studio — not an addition to it.
