Senior planning lawyer at WSP: work on leading projects in the built environment, water, and cables & pipelines within a multidisciplinary organization!

The living environment of the future requires strategically well-thought-out choices. Increasingly, innovative solutions must be sought within legal frameworks. At WSP, as a senior planning lawyer, you will work on projects that visibly shape the Netherlands: from complex urban area developments to water challenges and issues in the subsurface, such as cables and pipelines. You will work on trajectories where diverse interests converge and legal frameworks provide direction to sustainable, feasible solutions.

For example, you will contribute to large-scale area developments such as: Agricultural Interest in Maastricht, where living, culture, and sustainability come together, and to water safety projects such as Ruimte voor de Maas, in which legal decision-making is closely intertwined with technical and social interests.

As a senior planning lawyer, you are a substantive focal point within complex projects. You advise on spatial procedures, environmental law, and administrative decision-making, and you switch effortlessly between strategic thinking and substantive depth. In doing so, you are a full-fledged sparring partner for clients, governments, and colleagues within multidisciplinary teams.
