We are looking for a Senior Legal Adviser to join our Energy practice. This is a unique opportunity to support one of our firm's strategically important firm-wide, cross-expertise practice areas that is working on socially relevant topics at a time of rapid development in the energy sector.
Our Energy practice advises clients on complex energy law matters, working across multiple practice areas including Regulation, M&A, Finance, and Litigation. The energy market is developing at an unprecedented pace, and our clients are at the heart of the transition, creating significant opportunities for innovative legal work and business development. You will join a dynamic team of highly qualified specialists and play a crucial role in strengthening the team's capacity and knowledge base.
The ideal candidate has a legal background and is experienced in the energy practice. We are looking for someone that is keen to assist in providing top tier advice and to keep track of relevant developments for our clients and the matters we handle, supporting us on all elements of this multi-disciplinary practice.
You will work closely with lawyers and our business development team across multiple practice groups and assist them as needed. This includes assisting and advising our lawyers on issues related to your area of expertise, organising expert meetings, training sessions, developing know-how on specific topics as well as sector-specific developments, create client presentations and work on pitch documents, and coordinate relationships with relevant (international) organisations and associations in the field of energy.
Your responsibilities will include:
We are constantly reviewing and improving on the way we work. As part of your role, you will drive innovation in our Energy practice. You will regularly share best practices among our legal advisers.
We offer you a challenging and independent role with flexible working hours in a dynamic, multi-disciplinary practice dealing with matters that relate to the energy transition, working for public and private companies and on socially relevant topics.
The ideal candidate for this position:
Our clients, people and drive for quality are the energisers of our firm. They are the basis from which we deliver a powerful corporate practice, a centre of excellence in litigation and arbitration, and an unparalleled team of compliance experts.
We are at our best when matters are multidisciplinary in scope, with cross-border ramifications and when reputations are at risk. This is why we encourage our lawyers to combine in-depth legal expertise with the ability to collaborate with other experts across all relevant legal and non-legal disciplines.
We see our clients’ challenges with clarity and in their full legal and commercial context, wherever they operate. We advise them from our offices in Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Shanghai and Singapore on all matters important to them. Based on our expertise and experience we do this ourselves or together with local counsel if local specialist advice is required.
