Usage tips
Compound word
This word is made up of 'der Anwalt' (lawyer; in the genitive: Anwalts) and 'die Kanzlei' (office for legal professionals). The 's' is a linking s that connects the two parts.
EXAMPLE

The law firm specializes in family law.
Correct preposition
Use 'in' with the dative to describe the location, and 'zu' with the dative for movement toward it. You work 'in einer Anwaltskanzlei' (in a law firm) and go 'zu einer Anwaltskanzlei' (to a law firm).
EXAMPLE
