Legal Assistant

At Picnic, we’re offering passionate law students or graduates the opportunity to join the Legal team at our Amsterdam HQ.

In a nutshell

Picnic is growing rapidly and faces bigger and more complex legal challenges every day. We are looking for a Dutch Legal Assistant to join our legal team in Amsterdam. You will work on a wide range of issues, both independently and in collaboration with other members of our legal team, as well as the business teams. Unlike a traditional legal student internship, you won’t be watching from the sidelines. At Picnic, you are an integral part of the team and will make impact on our business from day one. Whether you’ll aim for a career in a law firm or elsewhere, these experiences will definitely kickstart your career.

Tricks of the trade

• You will handle a variety of tasks that go beyond your law studies: from leveraging AI within our team and improving legal processes to supporting our day-to-day legal operations.
• You will quickly gain ownership of legal projects from start to finish, ranging from smaller, ad hoc matters to larger cross-functional initiatives.
• You will review, draft and negotiate a variety of commercial contracts.
• You will work closely with other teams such as Finance, Marketing, Commercial, Customer Success and Operations.

Your superpowers

• You are currently enrolled in a master’s in Dutch law (HBO or WO) or have recently graduated.
• You are fluent, both verbally and in writing, in English and Dutch.
• You are available for at least 4 to 6 months, for 4 or 5 days a week.
• You are proactive and hands-on: you take initiative, think ahead, and actively look for ways to contribute to the team.
• You are analytically strong, able to assess situations quickly and translate them into clear, concise, and practical solution-oriented advice.
• Relevant internship or work experience (e.g. in-house, law firm, etc.) is a plus.
• You are enthusiastic, energetic, and motivated to help build the best milkman on earth!
