Candidates interested in a career with us are welcome to send their curriculum vitae together with a copy of transcripts of academic results to Linda Vandevelde, Human Resources Manager.
You may expect to receive an answer from us within two weeks of receiving your application and, if positive, you will be invited for a first set of interviews. This round might be followed by a full interview day in order for you to meet not only partners but also possible future colleagues. A full interview schedule often includes a lunch with some associates so that you are given the opportunity to ask all possible questions in a more relaxed environment. After collecting interview feedback, hiring decisions are made by the Recruiting Committee, promptly following your visit to our offices.
We take part in the job fairs organized at Belgian Universities, in Germany and in the UK and we participate in the career days organized at the College of Europe in Bruges and in those organized by European Institutions.
In February each year we host an in-house student reception.
Furthermore, each year the firm participates in the New York University International Student Interview Program and the Columbia Overseas-Trained LL.M. Student Interview Program held at the end of January in New York for applicants enrolled in the U.S. LL.M. programs nationwide. In addition to hiring applicants from these interview programs to begin work directly as associates in the Brussels office, we also select students to participate in our firm’s International Lawyer Program in New York or Washington before transferring to the Brussels office.
