Inference: the Insurance & Liability group is adding trainee capacity for liability and insurance disputes. Two of its three open roles were posted in the last 30 days (2026-10-01 and 2026-10-07), and a Personal Assistant role for the group opened on 2026-08-12.
Today: Posting for Juridisch medewerker FinTech: 'The FinTech cluster works on vergunningstrajecten under MiCAR and on complex, often new questions about crypto-assets, stablecoins and FinTech in financial supervision law.'
Roles: Advocaat-stagiaire FinTech · Juridisch medewerker FinTech
Requirements mention: MiCAR · MiFID II · financieel toezichtrecht · AFM · DNB · vergunningaanvragen
Inference: the FinTech cluster is adding people for MiCAR licensing and financial supervision questions. Both roles were posted on the same date, 2026-09-11.
Today: Posting for Advocaat-stagiair Construction & Infrastructure Projects: 'The team advises and litigates for clients such as opdrachtgevers, aannemers, investeerders and projectontwikkelaars on complex construction and infrastructure projects, from initiative to oplevering and exploitatie.'
Roles: Advocaat-stagiair Construction & Infrastructure Projects · Student-stage Construction & Infrastructure Projects
Requirements mention: procederen · onderhandelen · projectovereenkomsten · civiel recht · schikkingsvoorstellen
Inference: the construction and infrastructure team is adding trainee capacity for contract and dispute work on projects. Both roles were posted in the last 30 days (2026-09-23 and 2026-10-01).
Today: Posting for Advocaat-medewerker Dispute Resolution: 'een échte procespraktijk, advises and litigates in alle facetten van het advocatenvak, from contractuele- en aansprakelijkheidskwesties to kortgedingprocedures en collectieve acties, nationally and internationally.'
Roles: Student-stage Dispute Resolution · Advocaat-medewerker Dispute Resolution
Requirements mention: commercial litigation · corporate litigation · arbitrage · collectieve acties · business development · acquisitie
No inference drawn; the signal is weak. The Student-stage was posted on 2026-10-01 and the Advocaat-medewerker on 2026-06-01. The Advocaat-medewerker posting lists business development and acquisitie alongside litigation.
Today: Posting for Advocaat-medewerker Corporate/M&A: 'The Corporate/M&A practice group advises national and international corporates, private equity and venture capital parties on mergers and acquisitions, investments and governance.'
Roles: Advocaat-medewerker Corporate/M&A · Advocaat-medewerker Corporate/M&A met focus op de Energy sector · Student-stage Corporate/M&A
Requirements mention: fusies en overnames · due diligence · corporate governance · vennootschapsrecht · ervaring (4-7 jaar) · affiniteit met de Energy sector · energierecht
No inference drawn; the signal is weak. Corporate/M&A has the most open roles (5), but two of those are the FinTech roles above. The other three were posted on 2026-03-19, 2024-06-06 (energy) and 2023-06-26 (student), so they do not show a new build-out.
Today: Posting for Advocaat-stagiair Transactional Banking: 'The Banking & Finance team advises Nederlandse en buitenlandse financiële instellingen en ondernemingen op het gebied van financieringstransacties, zekerheden, insolventie en herstructureringen.'

Requirements mention: transactiepraktijk · lenings- en zekerhedenovereenkomsten · legal opinions · financiële herstructureringen · insolventierecht
No inference drawn: all three postings are older than 30 days (2026-06-09, 2024-05-02, 2023-06-26) and the signal is weak.
