Legal Professional
Will you join our team?
First Lawyers is a law firm specializing in legal operations, data protection, incident and data breach resolution and commercial contracts. First Lawyers’ attorneys assist organizations affected by security incidents, such as a hack or ransomware. Organizations that are confronted with an investigation by the regulator or an imminent fine also call on the lawyers of First Lawyers.
Clients who are confronted with liability claims or wish to claim damages themselves for non-compliance with agreements are guided by the lawyers of First Lawyers. In addition, the services provided by First Lawyers increasingly focus on organizing the corporate legal function (legal operations) at clients using smart contracting. Practice shows that many incidents could have been prevented or would have had less serious consequences if making agreements and managing them had been embedded in the organisation.
The contracts and contract portfolios applied with smart contracting are developed and managed by the lawyers and legal professionals of First Lawyers. The intended legal professional will play a role in this.
