Business Support Assistant
About the role
Adverit Legal is a relatively young law firm with offices in Antwerp (head office) and Kruibeke (branch office), comprising ten lawyers and one Business Support Manager. The firm aims to be the legal right‑hand of entrepreneurs, with lawyers specialised in the various fields relevant to business (corporate and commercial law, company law, construction law, insolvency law, liability and insurance law, and social‑employment law). Legal expertise is combined with a personal and accessible approach. The ambition is to profile Adverit as a technologically forward‑thinking, professional, client‑oriented law firm. To realise its local and international ambitions, Adverit Legal is looking for a Business Support Assistant. You will be the operational backbone of the office, working closely with the lawyers and the Business Support Manager to ensure smooth functioning so that the lawyers can focus on substantive case work. You are the face of Adverit: the first point of contact for clients, the pivot in daily operations, and the professional who identifies operational bottlenecks and thinks about and works on solutions.
