As a working student, you will fully participate for approximately two days per week for three months in the close-knit Data, Privacy & Cybersecurity team in Amsterdam, where open and clear communication is central. You will share an office with an experienced lawyer who will mentor you personally, and in addition, a supervisor will be assigned. You may participate in our weekly coffee meeting so that you know exactly what is happening in the department and what everyone is working on.

We advise clients on diverse, strategic issues in the field of Data, Privacy & Cybersecurity. This can include, among other things, advising regarding global cyberattacks and data breaches, GDPR compliance, (international) transfer and exchange of personal data, cookies, the use of data from medical devices, and enforcement by the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
