Legal Assistant Intern (MBO)

As an intern within the Legal team at HEMA, you will have a varied role in which you will make an important contribution to the further digitalization of legal processes and paper files. HEMA is 100 years old! So we have many paper files, but rest assured, we don't need to digitalize 100 years of archives 😊. Digitalizing a file involves scanning, organizing, checking, and logically structuring documents. Additionally, you will give files clear names and save them in the correct digital environment. In this way, you help create an organized and easily accessible digital archive environment that is essential for the next 100 years of HEMA. Furthermore, you will participate within the legal team and support various daily activities. For example, you will help with organizing and maintaining files, studying contracts, and other supporting legal tasks. You will also get the chance to observe meetings and receive specific assignments, such as summarizing documents or researching laws and regulations, whether or not with the help of AI tools available within Legal. No two days are the same: the activities depend on the questions and projects currently active within the organization. This allows you to get acquainted with different legal topics and processes within a dynamic retail environment and gives you a unique look behind the scenes of HEMA's legal department.

At HEMA, you work in an environment where people collaborate closely. You will be given the space to develop yourself, receive good guidance, and get feedback that is truly useful.
