Law Student - Part-time Job

The Cigar Club is a private members club for cigar enthusiasts, and our core business is far from chesterfield sofas and velvet red walls; instead, we are immersed in legal matters.

We are skilled in administrative law and win nearly 80% of our cases within frameworks such as OSL, for example, and when we don't, we consistently hold authorities accountable.

If that weren't enough, we handle several high-profile cases; we are currently in the Court of Appeal in a damages claim against a municipality (we are the plaintiffs) and have just received the Court of Appeal's decision in another case in the PMÖD concerning tobacco marketing, where we are again the plaintiffs. We have a real chance of reaching the Supreme Court, a full 10% instead of the usual 2%. Here too, we are the plaintiffs.

We are looking for someone with a genuine interest in law; you are a law student (this is a requirement). Smoking cigars is not an advantage, quite the opposite. Depending on your competence, you will assist with various legal tasks, from dull and monotonous duties to more complex ones. If it turns out you are better at something than us, you will take on greater responsibility in that area.

We operate under complex legislation and work according to strict routines. It is important that you are compliant and lack the impulse to react. Your most important quality is that you can take a step back when unsure to find the correct information instead of solving the task on the spot. You enjoy taking directives and do not feel limited if you are not allowed to color outside the lines.

The only time we prefer speed over quality is when there is a fire (meaning not in the joints but when you need to call 112).

Thus, you are comfortable with not having the full picture and all variables, and you are encouraged to take your time to make decisions. This is part of our DNA.

The reason is simple: we operate under complex legislation—legislators have not considered that businesses like ours exist, and to top it off, we have a number of different civil law agreements that limit us in various ways. Shooting from the hip is not something we do. We work calmly and methodically.

We see that you study at a higher education institution, and law studies are required. Smoking cigars is not a merit at all, as we mentioned earlier. We do not want overlaps between staff and potential customers/members.

A word of warning to those born around the turn of the millennium. If you are someone who envisions a career at one of Sweden's most prestigious firms but also talks about work-life balance, wants a ball pit in the office, and other nonsense, you will get a rude awakening. When we work, we work. It is a high-stakes game with a lot of pressure and little margin for error. We are extremely clear; you will notice if we are satisfied with your work, and if you have made a correct assessment of the situation but gotten a crazy outcome, you will definitely get support. If you rush through your job or think deadlines are a recommendation, you will quickly become aware that it is not particularly appreciated.

If you are the type of student who emails the teaching lecturer to submit a take-home exam on another day because you have other things to do, then you should not even bother applying for the job.

We have previously had law students with us and been very satisfied; it has been a good platform for fresh students before taking the step to becoming a student employee at a larger firm over the summer.

Recruiters need not contact us.

We are by no means a gentlemen's club and are not particularly fond of 'bro culture.' Your personality as an applicant is decisive. Your gender is not.

We do not accept visitors. Physically submitted applications will be discarded. We also do not respond to applications that do not meet formal requirements (you must figure out what an application should contain as a minimum). Applications that do not meet our requirements go straight into the trash, without a response.

Have you had a so-called 'crappy job' in your younger years? Good! That is meritorious.
