Building the employer of the future?

You have years of experience in labor law and employee participation: reorganizations, works council processes, collective labor agreements, complex cases. You're on the right track content-wise, but you're missing the space to truly build: on propositions, sustainable employment relationships, and a people-centered practice. At LEAN LAWYERS, you get that space.

About LEAN LAWYERS

LEAN is an innovative, 'climate-positive' B Corp law firm in Utrecht that helps entrepreneurs, employers, and impact companies from home and abroad with legal solutions that work in practice. We believe in modern, people-oriented employers and contribute to organizations in transition - from startup to corporate.

Your role

• You advise and litigate in complex labor law and participation cases: reorganizations, (collective) dismissals, works council processes, harmonizations, collective labor agreements, and governance.
• You help employers become future-proof: legally solid, people-oriented, and sustainable.
• You develop scalable propositions, training programs for HR and management, and toolkits for sustainable employment relationships.
• You build and lead a team, mentor juniors/mediors, and contribute to the strategic direction of the office.

Who you are

• Minimum of 10 years of experience as an employment lawyer, with demonstrable experience in employee participation and not afraid to litigate if necessary.
• Experience at a large or specialized firm, and now a desire for more control and less political fuss.
• Strong in combining legal depth with pragmatic advice in clear language.
• Interest in topics such as sustainability, good employment practices, and the role of labor in the new economy.
• You have clear ideas about the future of labor law and employee participation and want to take the lead in it.
• You want to be visible: as a trusted advisor, speaker, author, or trainer, and already have (partially) your own practice.
• You possess the 'LEAN DNA'.
• You speak and write fluently in Dutch and English and are able to attract clients and build a practice.

Do you recognize yourself in this? Then read on.

What you find at LEAN

• An honest career/partner path, transparent about expectations and mutual investment with a lot of autonomy, no office politics, short lines of communication, and a team that collaborates with each other.
• Working at perhaps the most beautiful office in Central Netherlands ( Treehouse Utrecht ).
• A lot of fun, regular drinks, events, our own LEAN ⛷ Winter Summit, a healthy work-life balance, and a damn good (vegan) lunch every day.

And additionally

• a position with a lot of responsibility, plenty of room for your own initiative, entrepreneurship, and opportunities for advancement, where we are happy to think along with you about your ambitions and wishes;
• market-conform salary that matches your experience, responsibilities, and our type of office;
• a minimum of 27 vacation days, a MacBook and company phone, a fixed monthly expense allowance, a self-allocated mobility budget, a good pension scheme, and the opportunity to join our collective health insurance through Balieplus;
• Employees can, in consultation, convert a day off on an official holiday to another holiday that is important to them;
• individual training and development opportunities, including for example post-academic specialization courses / training programs, such as the Grotius Academy;
• a lot of attention to sustainability, technological development, AI, and innovation;
• The space to work as a lawyer in this growing law firm - with an eye for people, the environment and society - to deliver added value to the further growth and development of yourself, our organization, your colleagues and our relationships.

At LEAN, we believe as a B Corp that it's important for you to be completely yourself, and you are also given the space to actively contribute to this through our own initiatives in the field of diversity, inclusion, and social impact.
