Candidate Civil Law Notary (kandidaat-notaris)

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.

We offer you a unique opportunity to join our Corporate Advisory practice as a candidate civil law notary at our Amsterdam office. Our Corporate Advisory practice is at the heart of what we do as a firm, and part of our broader Corporate practice, which includes many other areas of expertise.

Our extensive corporate experience enables us to handle the most complex and demanding transactions in the Netherlands and abroad. In our practice, we combine the in-depth experience of dedicated lawyers from all areas of expertise across the firm. Our team includes transaction, regulatory and litigation specialists.

This unique combination of excellence means we can offer our clients comprehensive advice of the highest quality. We are keen to expand this dynamic team with a candidate civil law notary, who gets excited from working on complex, high-end matters in an integrated team.
