We are a Dutch Law Firm with a global approach. From our headquarters in Amsterdam, we deliver global coverage through our local offices, our network of Best Friends firms and our long-standing relationships with top-tier law firms abroad.  

With a profound engagement on the most crucial aspects of business, we are deeply rooted in the Dutch tradition of problem-solving and innovation.

We provide our clients with unrivalled expertise in complex – often multidisciplinary and international – corporate transactions, disputes and regulatory enforcement matters.

Would you like to gain hands-on experience in financial law? If you are available for approximately 15 hours a week alongside your studies, this law assistant position is what you are looking for!

Your role as a law assistant

As a law assistant you will immerse yourself in a dynamic blend of 'know-how' activities and hands-on support for our practice's daily operations. Your role in know-how will involve staying updated on the latest legal trends, contributing to newsletters, and delivering engaging presentations. Additionally, you'll play a part in supporting our team by conducting comprehensive literature and case law research, crafting presentations, creating memos, and conducting research for both internal and external publications.

You will also be able to fully participate in all of our educational and social programmes, whether practice-specific or firmwide.

Our practice

Our financial markets and regulation team advises financial firms on complex matters driven or affected by the supervision and regulation of the financial services industry. We assist large national and international financial firms in complex M&A and capital market transactions, and advise on securities offering rules, the trading of financial instruments, market abuse issues, and financial market infrastructures. We also help financial firms with all aspects of the licensing, governance and structuring of their business operations. We assist in creating a framework for their financial services and products, and in dealing with regulatory capital issues and recovery and resolution.
