Ready to turn your legal degree into real impact?
At Forvis Mazars, legal isn't a back-office function, it's a business partner at the table. As our new Internal Legal Advisor, you'll be the go-to legal mind supporting our firm's own operations: contracts, compliance, corporate governance, risk, and everyday legal questions that keep an international professional services firm running smoothly. You won't be doing this alone: you'll work closely with our legal partner and collaborate with colleagues across functions such as Risk & Compliance, HR, and Finance. As we operate both as an audit firm, regulated by IBR/IRE, and a tax advisory firm, regulated by ITAA, you'll also need to navigate the specific professional and regulatory rules that come with that dual profile. This also includes responsibility for our internal privacy and GDPR compliance. Supported by our in-house internal specialists on the different domains, you’ll get exposure across multiple legal domains, instead of being boxed into one niche
What you'll actually do
- Draft, review, and negotiate a wide variety of contracts (commercial, HR-related, supplier, partnership agreements)
- Advise internal stakeholders, from partners to HR to operations, on legal, regulatory and independence questions
- Support corporate governance matters and entity management for our Belgian structure, taking into account the regulatory framework applicable to our activities as both an audit firm (subject to IBR/IRE rules) and a tax advisory firm (subject to ITAA rules)
- Take ownership of privacy and data protection matters, including GDPR compliance, data processing agreements, and the day-to-day privacy point of contact for the firm
- Monitor legal and regulatory developments relevant to a professional services firm and translate them into practical guidance
- Contribute to internal policies, templates, and legal risk management processes
- Collaborate closely with colleagues across Finance, HR, Risk & Compliance, and international Forvis Mazars entities
What you bring
- A Belgian Master's degree in Law
- 3 -5 years of professional experience in a legal environment
- A specialisation, certification, or relevant coursework in GDPR is a plus but not a requirement
- Fluency in Dutch or French, plus strong English; the other national language is a strong asset
- Curiosity and a pragmatic mindset: you like solving real problems, not just spotting legal risk
- Strong communication skills, you can explain legal nuance to non-lawyers without losing them
- A proactive, ownership-driven attitude and genuine interest in growing within an international group
