As a Real Estate Legal Secretary at Nysingh, I will be responsible for supporting the legal practice of our civil-law notaries and junior notaries. I understand that the smooth execution of administrative tasks and providing efficient, professional service to clients are of paramount importance in this role. Through my experience as a secretary, I know exactly how vital it is to ensure the day runs flawlessly. I have experience in independently preparing legal documents, managing diaries, and maintaining contact with clients and third parties. Additionally, I am proficient in filing and file management. I am confident that my skills and meticulous way of working will align perfectly with the duties associated with this position.

The Real Estate, Market and Government team in Arnhem where I would be based consists of experienced and specialist lawyers and (junior) notaries. I look forward to collaborating with a team that is passionate about their field. Besides lawyers and notaries, my team will consist of a civil-law notary, three junior notaries, two secretaries, and a student intern. I am convinced that I can contribute effectively to the dynamics and efficiency of this team, working together to achieve Nysingh's objectives.

I believe I meet all the job requirements. I have extensive experience in secretarial work, specifically gained within the legal sector. As a result, I am familiar with the specific procedures and terminology involved in legal practice. I am reliable, client-oriented, and have the ability to pick up new tasks quickly. My structured and accurate way of working allows me to maintain a clear overview at all times. Furthermore, my command of the Dutch language is excellent, and I am capable of both working independently and collaborating well with others.

Nysingh offers the chance to develop and grow within a professional working environment. I value the prospect of a temporary contract with a view to permanent employment, alongside a competitive salary. The excellent secondary employment conditions, such as 28 days of holiday and 2 fixed days of leave per year, are also very appealing to me. Additionally, I am drawn to the accessible and open office culture, where it is common to drop by each other's desks for a chat. I look forward to participating in the office activities, such as drinks, ski trips, and other social and sporting events. Moreover, I would have a pleasant workplace in the centre of Arnhem.

I am highly enthusiastic about this vacancy and would love to become part of the team at Nysingh. I have attached my CV and cover letter and am available for an initial interview at your earliest convenience. I look forward to hearing from you.
