The job

Here’s what the job entails

• ad hoc legal tasks, for instance non-disclosure agreements, power of attorney, cooperation agreements and consultancy agreements

The team

Meet the team
As our new Junior legal assistant, you will join our Legal & Compliance unit, which consists of 18 dedicated employees. The legal team is responsible for mitigating legal risks, providing relevant input for decision-making and supporting the entire organisation with high-quality legal advice and contractual setup and support. We work closely with a wide range of stakeholders across the organisation, from trading teams to senior leadership.

In the legal team, you will have eight skilled and motivated colleagues who set the bar high and always help each other finish the job. Everyone is eager to learn from one another, and we value each other's different opinions. It is important for us to have fun as we go along, and we enjoy spending time together at social events.

This is a perfect opportunity to bridge the gap between academic study and practical application. You will get hands-on experience and develop crucial skills that will strengthen your legal profile.
