Exciting and academically challenging student job

ARE YOU A LAW STUDENT WITH AN INTEREST IN COMPANY LAW, COMMERCIAL MATTERS AND M&A? AND WOULD YOU LIKE A STUDENT JOB WHERE YOU GET RESPONSIBILITY, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AND AT THE SAME TIME BECOME PART OF A STRONG COMMUNITY? THEN YOU MAY BE ONE OF THE LAW STUDENTS WE ARE LOOKING FOR FOR OUR CORPORATE M&A DEPARTMENT IN COPENHAGEN.

At NJORD, you become part of an ambitious and professional law firm, where we work closely together across practice areas and locations.

At the office in Pilestræde in central Copenhagen, we are about 110 colleagues, and as a student you will be part of an active student community of around 20 students, who both collaborate professionally and prioritize the social community.

A STRONG STUDENT ENVIRONMENT AND ROOM FOR DEVELOPMENT

We place great emphasis on you thriving both professionally and personally. As a law student, you will become an integrated part of everyday life in the Corporate M&A department and part of an engaged and rewarding student community, where we help each other, share knowledge, and meet up for social activities.

At the same time, we value both personal and professional learning. You will be given responsibility and insight into the cases and experience how legal advice creates value for businesses in practice. When you start, you will be assigned a colleague who will act as your point of contact and focus on both your well-being and your professional development.

YOUR TASKS WILL INCLUDE, AMONG OTHER THINGS

As a law student in our Corporate M&A department, you will gain practical experience with a wide range of tasks, including:

• Legal research within company law and the law of obligations,
• drafting of contract drafts, corporate documents and memorandums,
• assistance in connection with business transfers, including M&A processes,
• restructurings and succession planning,
• general legal assistance to attorneys and junior associates in their day-to-day advisory work, and
• ad hoc tasks where you will have the opportunity to take responsibility and develop professionally.

We imagine that you:

• have completed the 3rd semester of your bachelor’s degree in law and have at least one and a half years left of your studies,
• have an interest in company law, M&A and private law subjects,
• work in a structured, thorough and independent manner,
• communicate clearly and precisely in both Danish and English, and
• thrive with responsibility, collaboration and a desire to learn.

We would like you to be curious, committed and ambitious, and that you want to contribute to both the professional and social community.
