Legal Tech Consultant - Starters Academy

Are you a real Sherlock? Do you enjoy getting to the bottom of things? Are you excited by high-stakes, headline-making legal cases? Then this vacancy might be your perfect match.

What you’ll be doing as a legal tech consultant?

As a Legal Tech Consultant in our Starters Academy, you'll dive into the world of digital investigations and forensic evidence. You'll work on high-profile cases - think major fraud investigations, cartel probes or corruption scandals. Your mission? To uncover the “smoking gun” - that one critical document or email that can turn the tide of a case.

Your work begins at the source: securing digital data. You'll confiscate laptops, smartphones and other devices, then extract and collect relevant information. Using advanced software and your own technical skills, you’ll investigate this data to uncover what really happened. You’ll quickly learn how to search, filter and analyze millions of files to pinpoint the key information that lawyers or businesses are looking for.

But you're more than a digital detective. When a client is hit by a cyberattack or data breach- like the one that affected Maastricht University - you’re ready to jump in. You’ll track how the hackers got in, what data was compromised, and where the urgent risks lie. In crisis situations, when entire companies are brought to a standstill, you’re the one who brings clarity to the chaos.

Besides these exciting client assignments, you’ll also contribute to internal initiatives that drive your personal and professional development. At Forcyd, you'll get the opportunity to grow at lightning speed in a field that’s constantly evolving.

The Starters Academy

When you join us, you’ll kick off with a four-week bootcamp designed to fully prepare you for your role. No dry theory- just immersive training, hands-on experience and deep dives into digital evidence, legal technology and forensic data analysis.

After this high-impact start, you’ll continue your development in our two-year growth program, designed specifically for (young) professionals. Together with your training group, you’ll take part in coaching, peer learning and workshops focused on personal and professional skills. You won’t just become an expert in your field, you’ll become a confident professional who makes a real impact.
