Assistant Lawyers - 2-4 yrs' pqe - Brussels

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.

We are currently looking for assistants with competition experience for our Brussels office.

Gide Loyrette Nouel first established an office in Brussels in 1968. It comprises seven lawyers, including the resident partner, Dominique Voillemot, supported by the members of the Firm's Economic and European Law Department in Paris. They advise a wide range of clients, both in the private and in the public sector.

After 30 years of presence in Brussels, we are able to offer our clients a network of working relationships with members of the key European Institutions located in Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg.

The Brussels office regularly intervenes before the Community authorities, particularly regarding notifications of agreements between undertakings and mergers, as well as the drafting and filing of complaints to the Commission. We also advise on undertakings in the initiation and the follow up of litigations before the Courts of First Instance and the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg. The Brussels office has been involved in a number of cases which are now regarded as decisive precedents of European case law.

Our Brussels Office areas of expertise include:

- Competition law: merger control, cartels, abuse of dominant position, State aid, national monopolies,
- Distribution law: exclusive distribution, selective distribution, franchise agreements, know-how and technology licenses, commercial agencies, Custom law and antidumping procedures, Agriculture and food law, GATT/WTO regulations, Free movements of capital, goods and services, Public procurement, Environmental law, Community regulations regarding telecommunications, transports, intellectual property, tax, banking and financial services.

We are currently looking for assistants of between 2 and 4 years PQE. You will have a competition law background with another leading firm. 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 Brussels 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 will be working in the competition department of another leading firm but desire a fresh challenge.

So 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.
