VERNON | DAVID is expanding!
A new school year has begun and, as usual, we would like to welcome new people to our team. You are at the beginning of your career and, although you know you want to be a lawyer, you don’t quite know what each area is about? You have experience in one area but you are interested in a change? Would you like to meet us? If the answer to any of the above is yes, please send us a letter of interest and your resume. We would be delighted to introduce ourselves and hear about yourself.
We are currently looking to expand with the help of 3 to 4 lawyers (from juniors/avocati stagiari to associates and senior lawyers) who are to join our Bucharest office.

WHAT ARE WE OFFERING?
Basics: attractive compensation, medical private insurance, trainings and so on.
WHAT WE ARE GOOD AT: encouraging our colleagues to share their opinions with each other, working in teams, working with senior associates and partners, assessing the seniority level exclusively on knowledge and not on “corporate units” (yes, really!- one of our senior associates is 28 years old!).

In addition, we offer a challenging, dynamic and fun work environment.
