• Acting as counsel in criminal proceedings, under the firm's technical coordination.

• Assisting detainees at the police station and the duty court.
• Preparing statements, examinations, documentary evidence and closing arguments.
• Attending and conducting criminal trials as counsel.
• Monitoring deadlines, hearing dates and case progress, and keeping the client regularly informed.

Requirements

• Law degree and the qualifying Master's for admission to the legal profession, or equivalent professional qualification.
• Bar membership as a practising lawyer.

• Real trial experience as lead counsel of record in criminal proceedings.
• Experience assisting detainees, at police stations and at duty courts.
• Experience in first criminal consultations and in closing professional engagements.
• Strong legal drafting, organisation and rigorous deadline management.

• Economic crime, property and technology-related offences, offences against life and physical integrity, gender-based violence, road traffic offences, breaches of sentence, enforcement proceedings and corporate criminal liability.
• Full dedication to the firm, with no legal aid duty rota, on-call shifts, outside collaborations or personal caseload interfering with the working day.

One-off substitutions, accompaniments, traineeships, support work, trials prepared by another lawyer and appearances without acting as lead counsel will not count as your own trials. At a later stage you may be asked for anonymised evidence of your trial experience, always respecting client confidentiality.

Conditions

• Permanent contract, full time, office-based.
• Hours: Monday to Thursday 9 am–6 pm and Friday 9 am–2 pm.
• Gross annual salary of €35,000 – €40,000 in 12 payments, depending on real criminal experience, autonomy and professional fit. The upper band is reserved for candidates who can demonstrate genuine autonomy in managing a criminal caseload, first consultations, closing engagements and conducting trials.
• Progress review at 6 months and salary review at 12 months.
• Possibility of a performance-related variable or bonus once established in the role.
• No client portfolio of your own is required.

Selection process

1. An initial video call of around 30 minutes.
2. A short practical test focused on legal reasoning and criminal procedural strategy.
