Are you ready to further develop your career in Competition law, Foreign Direct Investment, and general European law? Our law firm is seeking a talented and driven lawyer with 2 to 4 years of experience in this dynamic field. This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer who is experienced but not yet at a senior level, looking to grow and thrive in a supportive and stimulating environment.  

About the team

At Liedekerke, we are a close-knit team of legal experts who specialise in providing strategic advice and representation in Competition law, Foreign Direct Investment, and general European law. Our lawyers work collaboratively to tackle complex and high-profile cases that shape industries and markets. You’ll be joining a supportive environment where knowledge-sharing and professional growth are at the heart of everything we do.  

Your profile

We’re looking for a lawyer who is:  

  • Experienced: You have between 2 and 4 years of experience in Competition law, with a solid understanding of EU and Belgian regulations and policies. The firm’s work encompasses all matters of competition law (restrictive practices, merger control, state aid). You are also interested in Foreign Direct investment. You may also be called upon to work on cases before the Courts of the Union, in matters of general European law and to advise in such matters.
  • Native Dutch speaker: You are fluent in Dutch, with strong oral and written skills. Proficiency in English is essential, and knowledge of French is an asset but not of the essence.
  • Analytical: You have a sharp legal mind and a proven ability to analyse complex legal and regulatory issues.  
  • Driven: You are motivated to further develop your expertise and build strong client relationships.  
  • Team-oriented: You enjoy working in a collaborative environment and contributing to shared goals.  

What we offer

  • Challenging work: Engage in diverse and intellectually stimulating cases in the subject matters mentioned, advising prominent clients across industries.  
  • Professional growth: Benefit from tailored training opportunities, mentorship from senior lawyers, and support for further specialization.  
  • Collaborative environment: Join a dynamic team that values mutual respect, cooperation, and excellence.  
  • Competitive compensation: Receive an attractive remuneration package.

If you’re passionate about Competition law, Foreign Direct Investment, and general European law and ready to make an impact, we’d love to hear from you.
