Our EU & Competition practice is currently looking for both an associate-level and a more experienced lawyer to join the team.

Borenius is a premier Finnish corporate law firm. We employ over 230 specialists and deliver the very best expertise, consistently, across all practice areas. We also have offices in London and New York.

Could this be your team?

Our dynamic EU & Competition team brings together professionals with diverse and versatile backgrounds. The team has extensive experience in all aspects of competition law, including merger control, compliance matters, investigations and proceedings before competition authorities and courts, public procurement, and state aid.

In addition, our team regularly advises on a wide range of regulatory issues related to regulated markets, including advising on foreign direct investment (FDI) screening and the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR).

What are we looking for?

We are committed to delivering well‑thought‑through and practical advice to our clients in a proactive and business‑focused manner. We are now looking to further strengthen our team with motivated and talented colleagues who share this commitment, genuine passion for competition law and regulatory issues, and a strong ambition to build a career in this field.

• For the associate-level position, you ideally have some prior experience in competition law; however, we also warmly welcome applications from newly graduated candidates who are eager to learn and develop their expertise and approach their work with a proactive and positive mindset.
• As for the position of a more experienced lawyer, you ideally have a minimum of four years of relevant work experience in competition law, gained for example at a law firm, authority, or in an in-house position. In addition, you are ready to take on a key role in client engagements, developing the team, and shaping its service offering.

Fluency in both written and spoken Finnish and English is required due to the nature of our work. Proficiency in additional languages is considered an asset.
