Working as a Junior Assistant

Your mission will be to support our partners and associate lawyers with various administrative tasks. These may include formatting, copying, printing, archiving, scanning documents, organizing materials in binders, updating indices, proofreading, and working with complex templates in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The tasks will also involve expense reports, courier management, booking and organizing meetings and travel, as well as assisting with certain tasks in our library. The role of Junior Assistant may vary depending on which group and projects you are working with, which may also involve working outside office hours at times.

Your Profile

We are looking for someone with a high school education who wants to gain insight into the legal profession for about a year. You have an interest in law, and we hope you aim to further your legal studies at university. As a person, you are meticulous, down-to-earth, and responsible, and you enjoy providing top-notch service. Previous experience in a service role is therefore an advantage. You are organized and able to quickly shift focus between different tasks as it is a broad work area with often tight deadlines and a fast-paced environment. We prefer that you have good experience with the Office suite and can easily adapt to new technology. It is a plus if you are multilingual, and a requirement for the role is that you are proficient in both Swedish and English.

A Culture We Believe You Will Thrive In

We are looking for employees who complement our team and share our core values - quality, business focus, and teamwork.

What sets our firm apart is our unique business model, Pure Lockstep. This model means that we focus on common goals and help each other become the best we can be.

Together with ambitious and motivated colleagues, you will work in an international environment characterized by engagement, well-being, and participation. You will become an important part of a close-knit organization where we care for each other and have fun together - both at work and during various social activities.
