Working Student - Public Law (Constitutional and Administrative Law)

Do you want to gain practical experience in our constitutional and administrative law practice? Then this position as a working student at De Brauw in Amsterdam might be what you are looking for! As a working student, you will work approximately 15 hours per week, contributing long-term to ongoing matters. This is in contrast to a two-month full-time student internship.
 

You will conduct legal research, draft memos, and support the team in both national and international regulatory matters. You will participate in team meetings and practice sessions, thereby developing your professional and personal skills. You will work independently with support from your supervisors.

Our public law practice deals with litigation for and advising state-owned enterprises and large corporate clients on issues in the fields of environmental law, energy and energy transition, state aid, and access to information, both nationally and internationally. For example, we advise on the Aramis project and the national hydrogen network, and we are involved in matters regarding nitrogen emissions at airports such as Schiphol. Furthermore, as legal advisor to the House of Representatives, we handle a wide spectrum of legal issues, from constitutional law to tax law. We also have a pro bono practice, within which we advise on matters such as human rights and EU law.
 

You will gain relevant work experience that aligns with your studies, build a valuable network, and develop essential skills in multidisciplinary teams at a leading law firm with an international focus. You will be guided by experts in the fields of public law and regulation. You will receive personal guidance with direct feedback and learn to tackle complex legal issues by working on real files.
