Working at LVH advocaten

A job made for you at a righteous Rotterdam agency

LVH Advocaten is a medium-sized law firm with around 15 lawyers. We are big enough for interesting and high-profile cases and small enough for an informal atmosphere. We easily walk in on each other and find it important that everyone can be themselves. In addition to work, attention is also paid to mutual solidarity; to work on this, a lot is organised, such as a staff day, drinks parties and sporting activities.

At LVH we give space for personal growth and encourage new experiences that enrich your professional life. In doing so, we look at who you are, what you can do or need to make the best use of your talent. The use of the individuality of each employee, in connection with each other, leads to the best service to our clients. We give space, trust and responsibility and demand performance, which is determined objectively, and hold our employees accountable for this.
Our core values: quality, customer-oriented, organizational pride, connecting.

We are always interested in good people. If you are interested in joining our office, please send an open application to werkenbij@lvh-advocaten.nl.

At our firm, you will start as a trainee lawyer in the general practice. If there is no vacancy for a trainee lawyer, it is also possible that you will start with a temporary contract as a legal assistant, where you will be involved in research, analysis and case law.

As a trainee lawyer, you will be assigned a patron who will supervise and train you during your traineeship. You will share a room with a senior member of staff, who you can turn to for all kinds of practical questions. Most emphasis is placed on knowledge acquisition and skills development. In addition, early on in your internship period, you will be encouraged to handle cases independently and to take responsibility for your own actions. You follow the mandatory professional training for lawyers (BA), the costs of which are paid by the firm. Your progress and your own experiences will be evaluated on a regular basis.

For information about applying and vacancies, please contact Peter Verheijden (verheijden@lvh-advocaten.nl).

Our office employs six practice assistants/secretaries (full-time and part-time) and two administrative assistants. As a practice assistant, you work for multiple lawyers and divide the work among your colleagues. We work with the DMSforLegal system. The role administration is centrally managed.

If you want more information about applying and vacancies, please send an email to werkenbij@lvh-advocaten.nl.

Student internship

LVH Advocaten offers students the opportunity to take a student internship at the firm. The work placement lasts two months in principle, with the possibility of extending it. The student receives an internship allowance. During the traineeship, you will get to know as many facets of being a lawyer as possible: writing memorandums and procedural documents, discussions with clients, attending court sessions, etc. You will also participate in the usual office activities, such as lunch, courses and office drinks. The possibility exists that, if the mutual acquaintance is successful and there is a vacancy in our office, you will be offered a job with our office. For example, our current associate lawyers Justin de Vries and Lisa Kloot started working in our office after a student internship. If you are interested in a student internship, please send an email with c.v. for the attention of Peter Verheijden (verheijden@lvh-advocaten.nl).

Experience of Carolina

From the end of August 2024 to the end of January 2025, I had the pleasure of doing an internship at LVH Advocaten. LVH is a medium-sized law firm, which makes for a nice combination of interesting cases and an informal, accessible working atmosphere. I was able to experience this to the full during my internship.

My experiences

During my internship I was involved in a wide range of legal issues, which gave me a good picture of the legal profession in practice. Among other things, I was involved in conducting legal research, drafting procedural documents and preparing advice. I also had the opportunity to attend court sessions and client meetings, which brought the theory from my studies to life.

The office

What made my internship at LVH Advocaten extra special was the pleasant working atmosphere and the commitment of my colleagues.
There was always room to ask questions, to spar over a case or just have a pleasant conversation at the coffee machine. Even outside of the substantive work, there was plenty of room for job satisfaction, such as drinks and an atmospheric Christmas dinner. In addition, I also experienced how talents are viewed. For example, I was able to apply my interest in videography during my internship by doing some video assignments.

All in all, I look back on an educational and valuable internship period, in which I was able to develop substantively and was part of a close-knit and enthusiastic team. And all this with a beautiful view over the city of Rotterdam.

I can definitely recommend an internship at LVH Advocaten!
