They can expect to be involved in a wide-range of cases dealing with some of the most interesting and challenging matters of our clients.Like our lawyers, our trainees are hired as independents and will receive a market-competitive compensation package. We hire on a strictly equal opportunities basis.
Trainees
Our EU Antitrust & Competition practice regularly has Trainees as part of the team. We are looking for candidates with excellent academic background, fluency in spoken and written English, and an interest in competition policy and practice. Studies in competition law and traineeships with competition authorities or in private practice are a plus. An international mindset, creativity, and team spirit are essential.We offer a six-month full-time contract at a very competitive rate and as independents, in line with the usual arrangements for lawyers in Belgium. Our trainees will become part of our diverse team and will work closely with colleagues across all seniorities and Willkie offices, in particular with our French, German, and UK competition lawyers.
