Associate Lawyer Privacy Law

We are looking for an (advanced) associate lawyer to join and strengthen the Innovation, Privacy & Technology (IP&T) section. Within the IP&T section, we work in a multidisciplinary team of lawyers specializing in privacy law, IT law, and IP and media law, on beautiful and often complex cases. Do you have at least five years of experience as a privacy law lawyer? Then this vacancy offers a wonderful opportunity!

You will start as an associate lawyer within our multidisciplinary IPT team. Your focus will lie on privacy law. In doing so, you will handle a wide range of cases, often in collaboration with other colleagues. On one hand, this can involve advising on all kinds of (complex) privacy law questions, often with social impact. Think, for example, of advice on the privacy law aspects of AI applications and the use of algorithms (click here for an example), on the use of biometric access gates within professional football, and on advice regarding the permissibility of exchanging personal data between (government) organizations. For instance, all the advice you find here regarding legal analyses are of our hand.

What makes us unique, among other things, is that we do not only or primarily advise, but also litigate extensively. You can therefore truly develop into a litigation lawyer in the field of privacy law with us. For example, we are involved in various collective actions in privacy law mass damage cases, we conduct many proceedings for our (government) clients regarding the lawfulness of personal data processing and legislation concerning it, and we often defend proceedings regarding the rights of data subjects, such as the right of access and the right to erasure. A number of rulings in recent and illustrative cases can be found here, here, here, here and here.

Because we handle many cases for government clients, you will not only deal with more classical privacy regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation. You will also delve into the specific legislation to which the relevant government client is bound, which further shapes the privacy law scope they possess. This gives working as a privacy law lawyer within our team an extra dimension.

The diversity and complexity of the cases we handle make this position, all in all, a beautiful challenge for any privacy lawyer.

You can constantly develop with us. You will quickly receive responsibility for your part of the practice and you will be a full-fledged sparring partner directly from your start. There is plenty of room for independence and personal growth. The latter not only in the field of privacy law, but also in a broader sense.

As an associate lawyer, you will participate in our internal training program: 'De Verrijcking'. This is a tailor-made development program throughout your entire career as a lawyer. As an associate lawyer, topics such as relationship management, contract management, and personal leadership will be addressed. You will get plenty of opportunity to grow both personally and professionally.

You will work in a young and ambitious team that loves legal challenges. Although our work is dynamic, the level is high, and we work hard, we look out for one another. We find it important that the atmosphere is good and that we help each other further. In addition to you, many other lawyers work in our team, who regularly do fun things together. Moreover, there are various (social) activities where you can get to know your colleagues better across the entire office. Finally, we offer—not insignificantly—good primary and secondary employment conditions, such as a thirteenth month, personal budget, expense allowance, various home-working facilities, and an attractive pension scheme.

Do you have questions or want to know more? Contact our recruiter Fieke Wolting or Esmée Boekhoudt, or drop by for a cup of coffee and a conversation with one of your potential future colleagues. This way, you can determine if the position is truly right for you. You can also apply directly, of course. Use the button below for that.

We are in the heart of society, where different talents and perspectives contribute to the value we deliver to our clients. Therefore, we strive for inclusion and we welcome diversity. There is room for growth and we work seriously on this every day. We cordially invite applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply with us.

A pre-employment screening is part of the application and selection process.
