Bedrijfsinformatie

Baker McKenzie is &eacute;&eacute;n van &rsquo;s werelds grootste en meest toonaangevende advocatenkantoren, met 74 kantoren in 45 landen. Als eerste advocatenkantoor in Nederland met een internationale praktijk heeft Baker McKenzie Amsterdam de meeste ervaring in grensoverschrijdende advocatuur. Baker McKenzie adviseert ondernemingen in binnen- en buitenland met een vernieuwende, onafhankelijke en pragmatische werkwijze bij het benutten van kansen en het oplossen van juridische en fiscale uitdagingen. In Amsterdam werken circa 300 medewerkers, waarvan circa 180 advocaten, fiscalisten, notarissen en economen. Voor de praktijkgroep Litigation zijn we op zoek naar een enthousiaste advocaat-stagiaire.

De praktijkgroep Litigation van Baker McKenzie bestaat uit een hecht team van 12 advocaten en behandelt een breed scala aan nationale en internationale commerci&euml;le, financi&euml;le en ondernemingsrechtelijke geschillen. Daarbij kun je denken aan geschillen die verband houden met commercial litigation, competition litigation, restructuring &amp; insolvency en corporate litigation. Ook is het team actief in het aanbestedingsrecht en adviseren en procederen de advocaten over ESG-onderwerpen, pre en post closing M&amp;A conflicten en joint-venture geschillen. Vanwege de breedte van de praktijk wordt regelmatig samengewerkt met andere secties binnen het Amsterdamse kantoor en de andere internationale vestigingen van Baker McKenzie. Het team werkt met een grote vari&euml;teit aan (internationale) cli&euml;nten en procedeert zowel bij de rechtbanken, gerechtshoven en de Hoge Raad als in internationale arbitrages.

Functie

De sectie heeft een informele cultuur waarin veel ruimte is voor individuele ontplooiing en eigen verantwoordelijkheid. Je wordt vanaf het eerste moment betrokken bij procedures, besprekingen met cli&euml;nten en onderhandelingen met wederpartijen. Als onderdeel van het team, maar ook van Baker McKenzie als geheel, kun je daarnaast ook deelnemen aan verschillende nationale en internationale (sociale) activiteiten. Zo zijn er onder meer een internationaal sporttoernooi, winter- en zomerfeesten, een winterreis en een tweejaarlijkse bijeenkomst met jouw Litigation collega's uit de EMEA-regio. Daarnaast volg jij, als advocaat-stagiaire, natuurlijk de beroepsopleiding, de Law Firm School en de Baker Academy.

Omdat de praktijkgroep zich kenmerkt door een grote verscheidenheid aan type zaken, zijn de belangrijkste eisen voor deze functie een brede kennis van het algemene Burgerlijke recht, gecombineerd met een interesse in het oplossen van complexe juridische problemen. Een gedegen kennis van internationaal privaatrecht en het burgerlijk procesrecht zijn een pre.

Itse Ooosterhoff (praktijkgroepvoorzitter en partner bij Litigation): &quot;Wij zoeken een gedreven en enthousiaste advocaat-stagiaire die bij voorkeur ervaring heeft opgedaan tijdens een stage of als werkstudent bij een vergelijkbaar advocatenkantoor. Wij zijn op zoek naar iemand met een duidelijke en stevige motivatie voor ons vak, maar die ook humor en gezelligheid hoog in het vaandel heeft staan.&quot;

Eisen
<ul>
<li>Aantoonbare affiniteit met de procespraktijk, procederen en/of het oplossen van complexe juridische problemen;</li>
<li>Uitstekende beheersing van de Nederlandse en Engelse taal in woord en schrift;</li>
