Careers in Amsterdam
Legal practice areas
Our Amsterdam office reflects the overall firm structure: there are four main international practice groups, and we have qualified lawyers working in the following areas:
Our reputation in Amsterdam is particularly strong within the Dispute Resolution department, where we receive regular recognition across practice areas in leading directories.
Year round we are looking to expand our teams and welcome experienced lawyers to apply. Being based in one of Simmons & Simmons’ Amsterdam practice groups means being part of a truly international and integrated network. We encourage our lawyers to not only refer business across practice groups in the Amsterdam office, especially through our sector focus, but all of our lawyers are also encouraged to attend regular meetings with their international colleagues and clients, creating a genuine, truly international culture.
We aim to be a first choice law firm for clients in the world’s fastest growing industries and therefore take time to understand the distinct demands that each client faces in order to provide a meaningful and valued service. We do this by offering deep commercial knowledge of each of our key sectors which underpin our four international practice groups. See our sector focus.
