Vacancy lawyer-employee

Due to the growth of the practice, First Lawyers is immediately looking for a lawyer employee for at least 24 hours a week. He or she assists clients in situations of cyber attacks, imminent claims for damages or termination of agreements. Organizations that are confronted with an investigation by the regulator or an imminent fine also call on the lawyers of First Lawyers.

The lawyers of First Lawyers

First Lawyers is a law firm that focuses on ICT, data quality, protection of personal data and commercial contracts.

First Lawyers considers it a privilege to contribute to the fair administration of justice. At the same time, she sees it as her duty to provide clients with the most appropriate legal assistance. It is therefore looking for lawyers who want to provide the most appropriate legal assistance.

In addition, clients increasingly have to deal with various forms of cybercrime. This is often a reason to examine their own legal function and ask First Lawyers to put it in order. Many incidents could have been prevented or would have had less serious consequences if making agreements and managing them had been embedded in the organization of the company.

You and your colleagues manage and develop contracts and contract portfolios. Contract portfolios must be continuously up-to-date. New sector-specific and company-specific contract portfolios will be required on an ongoing basis, depending on the needs in the market.

You follow a Legal Operations training. Here you create a theoretical foundation with, among other things, the CLOC model and the CATS CM method, and you learn to organize the corporate legal function using smart contracting.

You are independently able to maintain client relationships and develop market segments.
