Unpublished vacancies

There can be many reasons why a vacancy may not be published on our website: to avoid that competitors learn in an untimely manner about a law firm's ambition to set up a new office, because an employer may be looking for a replacement before the current holder of the position is informed or because the announcement that a public company's key figure is leaving before the replacement is announced, may be damaging.

Stay informed about our vacancies

For this reason, but also to flag your passive interest in a new job, it is always a good idea to send us your CV. You will then be automatically kept informed when a suitable position comes up. You can rest assured that your CV will never be passed on in a non-anonymised way to a potential employer without your explicit prior consent.
