Young talent spotted on job fairs in Leuven and Ghent!

Last week we had a booth at the VRG student job fairs in Leuven and Ghent. VRG is the student “nation” for all law students and it stands for Vlaams Rechtsgenootschap (in English Flemish Law Society).

On Tuesday 13 November we set up our trade fair stand in the Jubilee Hall of the University Halls of KU (Catholic University) Leuven.  Looking smart in their suits and armed with originally composed CVs, the students were on their best behavior. Impressive candidate profiles with an entrepreneurial spirit and a remarkable inner drive.

Our second law firm is located in Ghent.  Hence, a delegation of attorneys represented our office in Ghent on Thursday 16 November.  In the Students’ Union building ‘De Therminal’, we were introduced to Ghent University’s law students.  And again, we were pleasantly surprised by the enormous drive and passion of  the lawyers in training.

The general feedback provided was that our law firm is a reference point in terms of location whilst presenting a broad portfolio of case files. Also, there was positive feedback on our company film.  We happily look back on the job event, with a few first impressions and some photos.

“To me, your firm’s innovative approach is – for my career development as a future lawyer – of immense value. Notwithstanding the hectic environment in which a recruitment chat usually takes place at a job fair, I still remember the interview with your firm, mostly because of the relaxed atmosphere and your interest in who I am and who I could become, both as a person and as a future lawyer.”

“During my search to find a law firm that I would like to join, I came across the website of De Langhe Attorneys. The interview I had with you at the job fair made a very good impression. I felt welcome and your enthusiasm was very inspiring, which instantly convinced me to apply for a position.”
