Working as an assistent attorney

Working as an assistant attorney, focus is on your development

You will work and progress in an international law firm that delivers outstanding solutions to ambitious businesses. Working as an assistant attorney, you will be part of a team of experienced and skilled colleagues who will help you realise your potential.

The process of becoming a good attorney begins during your time as an assistant attorney. We want to provide you with the best possible basis for your development and future specialisation. You will be part of our rotation scheme, where you will be assigned to two different practice groups during your time as an assistant attorney. The rotation scheme gives you the opportunity to work in different fields and thus find out which area you want to work in

You will also be assigned a mentor, who will act as your guide throughout your training. Your mentor will follow your development, ensuring that you are given challenging tasks and take responsibility during your training as an assistant attorney. It is also your mentor, who will help you settle in both professionally and personally in your new role as an assistant attorney. After 18 months as an assistant attorney, you will be assigned a counsellor instead of your mentor. Your counsellor will help you in the final part of your time as an assistant attorney in order to prepare you for your role as an attorney.
