Secretarial Employee Corporate/Finance

Our Corporate and Finance team in Amsterdam has grown significantly recently. Are you an organizational talent with a feel for the dynamics of a transaction practice? And do you want to work within an international office where no day is the same? Then we warmly invite you to apply!

You will be working within a close-knit team where hard work is done, but there is certainly also room for a joint coffee break and a good team atmosphere. A click with the team is at least as important to us as the right experience.

The team has experienced significant growth in recent months, and we are now looking for secretarial support that will truly become part of the team. You will support the Lawyers with their daily activities, allowing them to focus on what they do best.

Your tasks will include agenda and inbox management for multiple Lawyers, drafting and formatting documents, and handling billing and time recording administration. Given the extensive AML requirements that come with transaction work, accuracy and oversight are essential in this role.

• An informal working atmosphere where everyone's door is always open;
• A close-knit and dynamic office where different sections collaborate extensively;
• A salary and benefits package commensurate with your experience;
• Room for personal development, training, and education;
• A cozy office bar and many fun activities, such as our Christmas party, summer party, office weekend, and our international football tournament.

• You preferably have a secretarial or administrative education at a minimum MBO level;
• You have at least 2 to 3 years of relevant work experience within legal or professional services;
• Affinity with M&A or transaction practices is a plus, but not a requirement if you have the drive to learn this in-house, we will work it out together;
• You work flexibly and easily step in where needed, including with other practice groups within the Amsterdam office;
• You are accurate, proactive, stress-resistant, and collegial;
• You communicate strongly in both Dutch and English;
• You have good knowledge of Microsoft Office and experience with legal practice management or document management systems.
