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

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.

Our internationally recognised arbitration practice operates across borders, legal systems and sectors by assisting in institutional, ad hoc and investor-state arbitrations. We focus on where we can make a difference: from energy and technology companies to financial institutions and states, our clients rely on us to handle their most complex and strategic cases. Successful arbitration requires more than mere legal expertise. Our team, together with clients and industry experts, immerse themselves in the case. In understanding every issue and possibility, we represent our client with conviction and legal pragmatism.

At our firm, the Arbitration and Corporate Litigation practice groups operate as one integrated team. As a law assistant, you may be involved in matters across both areas, given the significant overlap in the work we handle.
