Assistant Lawyers - 2-4 yr's pqe - Bucharest

Gide Loyrette Nouel is the leading full service law firm in France with over 70 partners and four hundred lawyers working out of Paris and 12 offices world-wide.

Since the early 1990s Gide Loyrette Nouel has considered the development of its activities in Central and Eastern Europe and in the CIS as a strategic priority to best serve our clients. Accordingly we opened offices in Warsaw in 1991, Prague in 1992, Moscow and Budapest in 1993, and in Bucharest in 1998. The Firm also works closely with local law firms in other countries in this region, particularly in Bulgaria and Ukraine.

We are currently looking for assistants for our Bucharest office. Gide Loyrette Nouel established a presence in Romania with the opening of a representative office of Magyar GLN Tanacsado KFT. The Office is run by Bruno Leroy under the supervision of Jacques de Servigny, the Managing Partner of the Budapest Office. The Bucharest Office offers the services of a team of seven French and Romanian practitioners. A Romanian lawyer working in the Paris Office provides the Bucharest Office with support services and acts as a key intermediary with investors that instruct Gide Loyrette Nouel.

Romanian, French and English are the team's working languages, combined with sound cultural knowledge which facilitates smooth interaction with government authorities and Romanian business associates. Gide Loyrette Nouel advises and assists foreign companies in setting up business in Romania as well as those which already have a footing.

Our Bucharest Office areas of expertise include:
- Company law,
- Labour law,
- Concessions - BOT,
- Project financing,
- Tax law,
- Exchange control regulations and Competition law.

We are currently looking for assistants of between 2 and 4 years PQE. You might have a range of experience, from project finance or banking to company commercial or corporate. The work will be extremely varied and challenging. One of the advantages of working in a smaller office is that our assistants gain a wide range of experience and are less closely tied to specific departments.

It is also possible to relocate from Bucharest to Gide's other offices in Paris or elsewhere.

The package will be highly competitive internationally and will include a relocation allowance. You will have a strong academic background, a good grounding in law and be ready and willing to try a different working environment that will significantly enhance your career prospects. You will have knowledge of the French language but you do not necessarily need to be fluent. You may be currently working in a developing market for another law firm; alternatively you might be working in a developed country's jurisdiction and desire a fresh challenge.

In either case, why not send us your cv. This is an outstanding opportunity for lawyers who wish to work in a varied and challenging environment that will promote your professional and personal development. If you recognise yourself in the above description we would like to hear from you.
