About the client

As an ambitious international firm of 80 lawyers, tax lawyers and notaries, this organization at Zuidas Amsterdam helps companies, institutions and investment funds realize their goals. But your goal is just as important. As a secretary you want to develop yourself within a dynamic organization where people work hard, but also laugh a lot!

Your role as Legal Secretary Advocacy

Complex agenda management;

File management (creating clients/files in our system, conflict checks, preparing order confirmation, etc.);
