Practice Support Coordinator - Notarial team

The Practice Support Coordinator for the Notarial team at Clifford Chance Amsterdam plays a pivotal role in facilitating the firm's notarial services. This position is integral to the firm's operations, ensuring that notarial documentation and processes are managed efficiently and in compliance with Dutch legal standards. Clifford Chance, a leading international law firm, offers a dynamic and collaborative environment where this role is central to supporting high-profile transactions.

In this capacity, the coordinator is responsible for independently preparing, reviewing, and amending various notarial documents, including deeds of incorporation, amendments to articles of association, share transfers, pledge deeds, mortgage deeds, and real estate transfer documentation.

Fluency in both Dutch and English, written and spoken, is required. Strong drafting, proofreading, and document-production skills, along with proficiency in Microsoft Office applications and the ability to learn firm-specific systems, are also necessary. The role demands excellent organizational, prioritization, and problem-solving skills, a proactive and service-oriented approach, and the confidence to work directly with clients and senior stakeholders, both independently and as part of a team.
