Requirements

What we're looking for

  • At least 8 years of relevant M&A experience, in which you have independently guided acquisition, sale, MBO, and/or MBI trajectories from start to finish

  • A completed university degree in business or corporate law

  • Full mastery of business and contract law and M&A transaction documentation, from legal due diligence, LOI, and SPA to participation agreements

  • You establish contact easily with entrepreneurs and investors and explain legal considerations clearly, in excellent Dutch and good English

  • You place the right emphasis in negotiations and translate risks into practical terms

  • Commercial insight: you identify opportunities and enjoy working multidisciplinarily

  • Experience in guiding colleagues and monitoring the quality of legal advice

The role

From the first conversation to closing, you are the legal point of contact for entrepreneurs and investors. As a Senior M&A Lawyer, you guide transactions independently and know exactly what a deal is all about.

An entrepreneur sells the company they have built for years, an investor steps in, or management takes the helm. That is rarely just a legal matter, and you understand that. As a Senior M&A Lawyer, you independently guide SME+ entrepreneurs, family businesses, and investors in acquisitions, sales, MBOs, and MBIs, both nationally and internationally. You oversee the entire process: from the letter of intent and legal due diligence to the purchase agreement, reinvestments, negotiations, signing, and closing.

Your strength lies in placing the right emphasis. You know which agreements truly matter for *this* client and where you can allow flexibility. You translate findings from the due diligence into clear advice that serves their interests. On an acquisition, you often work together with colleagues from finance, tax, and HR, and you maintain legal control over quality, planning, and progress.

Entrepreneurs and investors trust you because you speak their language. You explain complex matters clearly, ask the right questions, and build relationships that extend beyond a single transaction. You think commercially: you identify opportunities and new advisory needs among clients. Additionally, you ensure that colleagues are trained so that they too can grow.

Within Legal Advisory, you work nationally and multidisciplinarily, with short lines to Corporate Finance, Tax, HR, and our accountants. This allows you to view a transaction from all disciplines, while you remain the client's legal point of contact. For cross-border deals, you connect with the international network of Baker Tilly.

You take initiative; we provide trust. You determine the legal approach for your files yourself, with experienced colleagues available to brainstorm with when an issue requires it. Additionally, you are given the space to help build a growing M&A practice.
