Job Description
Would you like to gain broad exposure to both operational and strategic legal work in of the world’s largest suppliers of machinery, process technology, and components for food processing and a wide range of other industries?
This is your chance to build experience in an international company while still in school, working closely with experienced lawyers. At the same time, you will also have the exciting opportunity of contributing to process optimization and AI implementation initiatives.
Responsibilities / Tasks
In this position, you will have flexible hours and work on average between 10–20 hours per week, excluding exam periods and holidays.
You will spend your hours supporting the lawyers and their business colleagues on a broad range of legal matters. Specifically, you will:
• Support legal work related to collaborations with third parties.
• Assist with sales-related legal matters.
• Support legal trainings and project execution activities.
• Assist with disputes and negotiations, including more strategic and risk-related matters.
• Contribute to the team’s transition towards AI implementation.
• Help optimize processes and challenge existing ways of working.
Your Profile / Qualifications
You enjoy immersing yourself in the legal world and are motivated by turning theory into practical solutions. Therefore, you are also proactive and eager to contribute to defining new tasks and improving processes. Being quality conscious and using your eye for detail, you believe that no task is too big or too small, so you take responsibility and are willing to go the extra mile.
Finally, we imagine that you:
• Have completed at least your 1st year of law school (BA.jur or Cand.jur).
• Have a solid understanding of basic contracts, construction law, and IP principles — or you are motivated to learn quickly in a real-world context.
• Are fluent in English.
