Working at EDSON.
Different.
Edson is different. So we seek legal, strategy and support talent that is different. We’re after individuals that have an edge – underpinned by solid academic credentials, language skills and outstanding communication and negotiation skills.
Edson offers you a highly ambitious, dynamic and intellectually stimulating environment. You will work in the heart of Brussels, and in an office with a heart. You will work with people that value you, and that are value-driven. Compensation is on par with top tier law firms. Professional development opportunities are second to none.
Current Job Openings.
Reach out to us on recruiting@edsonlegal.eu if you fit the bill for one of the positions below. What if we’re not on the lookout for you, but you feel we should because you have the edge we are looking for? Then drop us a line anyway. We are always interested to meet top talent.
Counsel Regulatory and EU/Competition law.
- You have minimum 7 years of experience as a practicing lawyer admitted to the Bar in Belgium.
- Your EU law, Competition law and/or Regulatory expertise is diverse and lies in advisory and litigation work (transactional experience is a plus but not required). You have had exposure both to judicial and administrative proceedings, and ideally you also have expertise in proceedings before the Constitutional Court and the ECJ and GC.
- We are looking for curious all-rounders with diverse experience. We also encourage individuals to apply who only have point expertise and, for instance, have spent the last years doing mainly merger notifications. But only on the condition that you have the intellectual openness and courage to take on work in new areas.
- You have business acumen. You want to work at the crossroads of Business, Law and Policy and you are at ease in the company of business executives.
- You’re eager to learn. You’re open to constructive and even critical feedback. You prefer working in a team rather than alone. You are comfortable guiding litigation teams. You’re a people manager and you are good at spotting and fostering talent.
- You have end-to-end management responsibility for client and matter portfolios.
- You have an eye for detail and a liking for perfection. You have high demands towards others as well as to yourself.
- You are proficient in Dutch and French with one of those languages as your mother tongue, in combination with English and any other language. An academic track record in more than one of those languages is a definite plus.
- It is a plus to have an existing portable business that can be managed from Edson – but most importantly you are expected to have a business plan that allows for growth.
- You like to be the challenger rather than the incumbent. You don’t argue, you debate. You like to work hard when it’s needed – and not when it’s inefficient.
- You see the connection where others do not.
- We have fast tracks to partnership and also offer alternative tracks (for instance if you aspire to an academic career). We provide competitive remuneration packages with additional benefits. At Edson, you can join a team that will turn you not only into a better lawyer, but also into a true business person.
