What is Big Law?
At a top Dutch or international law firm you advise multinationals, private equity funds and financial institutions on complex transactions, litigation and regulatory matters. Your work has real financial and societal impact.
The path starts with an LLM (master's in law), then a traineeship — a rotation across practice areas before specialising.
