Law Assistant - Finance & Restructuring

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.

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.

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

The breadth and depth of our legal capabilities in corporate, contract, security and insolvency law, and in regulatory matters, ensures that our finance and restructuring team is at the forefront of legal developments in the Netherlands.
