The Financial Supervisory Authority is seeking a new capable law student (stud.jur.) or HA.jur. who is interested in working with financial legislation and exciting legal issues, including administrative law.

The job

As a student in the Legal Office you will get an outstanding opportunity to get to know the financial sector from the supervisory side and become sharp in the legislative process.

You will among other things have the opportunity to try your hand at drafting statutory orders and assist the office's lawyers in the preparatory legal work. You will also have the opportunity to be attached to one or more of the office's teams. It could be the GDPR team or the North Atlantic team, but you can also receive tasks within other areas covered by the office.

The Financial Supervisory Authority's Legal Office works in a team-based manner and includes, among others, a criminal law team that handles cases about administrative fines proposals in the anti-money laundering area, consults with other offices in the house about police reports, coercive penalties, self-incrimination, jurisdiction, etc. We also provide sparring to the house's other offices on questions within administrative law, GDPR, access to information, and about the financial regulation that the Financial Supervisory Authority supervises.

You will thus get an exciting and educational student job with diverse and challenging tasks that cover a wide range and make the days rarely the same.
