For the Executive Board Office of a public educational institution, we are looking for an all-round corporate lawyer on short notice to provide temporary legal support to the Executive Board, management, and directors. You will be a strong legal sparring partner who can quickly start working independently. You advise on various legal and administrative issues and know how to translate complex laws and regulations into clear, practically applicable advice.
Sometimes a case requires thorough legal research, other times a school director quickly needs a concrete answer. You effortlessly switch between both, understand administrative relationships, and know what is needed to help the organization move forward.
What you will do.
- You advise the Executive Board, school directors, and management on education law, administrative law, privacy law, civil law
- You translate legal issues and current laws and regulations into practical advice and solutions
- You draft and update agreements, regulations, and policy documents where necessary
- You guide complex legal cases where administrative or reputation-sensitive interests play a role
- You support legal issues concerning the Internal Disputes Committee for Employment Conditions and the Appeals Committee for Examinations
- You work closely with the other corporate lawyer and colleagues from the Executive Board Office

The work environment requires someone who can switch quickly, easily build connections, and approach legal issues from both a substantive and organizational perspective.
