The position

Your Future Starts Here in Brussels!
Our Brussels office is searching for a driven junior employment lawyer to join the team led by partner Julien Hick. This is a unique opportunity to collaborate directly with experienced professionals, handling diverse cases from start to finish while building lasting client relationships.


Why This Role Stands Out
As part of our closely-knit team, you’ll gain broad experience, advising national and international businesses on a variety of employment law matters. From restructurings, individual dismissals, and M&A employment considerations to compensation & benefits and workplace privacy, every day brings new challenges and learning opportunities. You’ll also have the chance to represent clients in Belgian labor courts, honing your litigation skills.


What We Offer
At AKD, a leading Benelux law firm with over 500 dedicated professionals, we are committed to your professional growth. Our Brussels team of 35 enthusiastic colleagues values collaboration, innovation, and quality. We offer a forward-looking career development path with a focus on nurturing your strengths and providing you with the tools to excel. Through our flexible learning environment, you’ll further develop your expertise, client engagement skills, and leadership potential.

Job requirements

Who We’re Looking For
You hold a Master’s degree in Law from a Belgian university and are ambitious, results-oriented, and a true team player. As either a native Dutch or French speaker with a strong command of the other language, you’re fluent in English and ready to bring your passion for employment law to a range of clients across sectors like financial services, life sciences, and consumer goods.


Your Path to AKD
At AKD, our central selection process is designed to ensure the best fit for both you and our team. You can learn more about this process, which includes a selection assessment, on our website.


Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at AKD
We believe everyone should feel empowered to be themselves at work. Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion means we celebrate individuality and value each team member’s unique talents.
