About the role

As a Legal Assistant at MAQS, you work in a broad and responsible role with a focus on insolvency law and bankruptcy administration. You work closely with our bankruptcy administrators on ongoing cases and play a key role in ensuring structure, correct handling, and that cases move forward. The work is varied, responsible, and at times intensive.

The role involves qualified legal and administrative work where you handle documentation, contact with courts, authorities, banks, and other external parties, as well as ensuring that formalities and deadlines are met.

You work closely with responsible lawyers but also have your own responsibility for your tasks and contribute to creating flow and quality in the daily work. The role is varied and involves many contact surfaces, both internally and externally. You work closely together with lawyers, bankruptcy administrators, and colleagues in the team, where collaboration and ongoing dialogue are crucial for the work to function efficiently.

We are looking for you

We are looking for someone who is structured, meticulous, and thrives in a role where you get to juggle many threads at the same time. You have experience in administrative work, preferably in an environment with high demands for quality and precision.

You may have paralegal education or other relevant legal background, but the most important thing is that you have the right work approach and drive. You enjoy collaborating with others but are also comfortable working independently and taking on your own tasks. You thrive in a role with many contact surfaces and have very good collaboration skills. You are receptive, communicative, and contribute to smooth collaboration within the team, while also taking personal responsibility for your tasks.

You are accustomed to working with several parallel cases and have a good ability to create an overview and prioritize when needed. You have a methodical work approach and place great importance on correct documentation and clear handling of formalities.

Experience from a law firm, court, or work within insolvency is meritorious. We particularly value that you are structured, judicious, and professional in your contact with clients and external parties.

Here you get the opportunity to work with complex and exciting issues in a professional and family-like environment. We value our employees and their development and strive to create a workplace where everyone feels included and appreciated. Here you become part of an engaged and knowledgeable team that supports each other and shares knowledge and experiences.
