De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek

OVER DE BRAUW BLACKSTONE WESTBROEK

De Brauw: widely recognised as the leading international law firm in the Netherlands. Our global approach; our long-term commitment to our clients; and our embrace of our role in society, makes De Brauw a uniquely special collective.

While nourishing deep roots in Dutch society, our clients and our legal advice are truly international. From our headquarters in Amsterdam, we act as clients' lead strategic and trusted adviser, delivering global support through our:

• Offices in London, Brussels, Shanghai and Singapore;
• Network of Best Friends' firms; and
• Long-standing relationships with top-tier law firms abroad.

DOES THAT INCLUDE YOU?

Twice a year, every year, we actively recruit bright and diverse legal talent to join our unique legal training institute. Here, in De Brauwerij (for Dutch lawyers) and The Brewery (for our international associates), the continuous development of our lawyers, tax advisers and notaries not only begins, but is inextricably coupled with their personal growth, so that they emerge as the next generation of top-tier legal talent.

FANCY BEING A LIFE-LONG STUDENT?

With a continual growth mindset and an ambition to learn, De Brauw will provide you with a career-long challenge and an opportunity like no other.

When you begin your journey with De Brauw, you will receive a fixed 3.5-year contract, and have the opportunity to be promoted to a senior associate at the end of that time. You will take part in an intensive training programme, handle your own matters, and be able to learn and practice all of the skills (both legal and interpersonal) that you need to thrive. No matter what your ambition is, we promise you this: there is no better launch pad, and we will be with you, supporting and cheering you on, every step of the way.

CAN YOU PICTURE YOURSELF AT DE BRAUW?

Well, why don’t you come and see for yourself. You may well be surprised.

If you are in your final year of your bachelor's or master's degree in law, Tax or Notarial Law, you may apply for a place on our annual business course. You will work on one of our pro bono matters and experience first-hand what it is like to have the opportunity to make a social contribution as a future lawyer, as well as enjoy many fun and social activities.

Student traineeships and law assistant opportunities are also an excellent way to dip your toe in the water, to get to know us and the type of work that we do. With unique opportunities in every practice area, you will be able to learn, have fun, and make invaluable contacts.
