We’re Dottir – business law made people-first and future-friendly.

For our clients, we deliver legal expertise across every facet of technological and societal change. For our people, we keep it smart, supportive, and non-hierarchical. The kind of place where you can thrive, level up, and enjoy Mondays.

Our top-ranked Employment team helps clients navigate the not-so-straightforward world of working life. Don’t just take our word for it – our Employment team’s work is recognised by the likes of Chambers and Partners and Legal 500. From strategic HR planning and agile contracts to equity schemes, restructurings, disputes, and M&A HR support – we do it all. Our client list includes listed companies, multinationals, and fast-moving growth ventures. In short: we help modern employers get it right.

Sound like your kind of thing?

We’re looking for an employment lawyer to jump in and help us keep raising the bar.

You might be our kind of person if you…

• Have at least 1 year of employment law related legal experience (law firm, in-house, trainee gigs count too)
• Have strong knowledge of the fundamentals of employment law and genuine enthusiasm to keep learning more
• Actually enjoy guiding organizations through the twists and turns of employment law (nerd badge – worn with pride)
• Bring a proactive mindset, a high bar for quality, and love digging into complex challenges
• Get a kick out of turning legal chaos into clean, strategic solutions
• Treat deadlines like sacred ground and your calendar game is strong
• Got A+ communication skills – polished in both Finnish and English, written and spoken

What’s in it for you:

• Work with a wide range of clients – many building the next big thing
• A team of top-tier employment law pros who enjoy mentoring
• A low-hierarchy organization where trust > titles
  Real opportunities to grow fast and get seriously good at what you do
• Flexible hours + the option to work remotely or from our art-filled office on Pohjoisesplanadi
• Monthly salary, annual bonuses, and a good stack of fringe benefits
• Access to the best business law events – and the occasional borderline legendary team nights

Severi, one of our employment lawyers, puts it best:

“As I always say, if one is to practice law, it should be at Dottir. Working at Dottir is a truly holistic experience: not only do I get to engage in meaningful legal work, but I am also surrounded by people who are future-oriented, reshaping the legal field and working life to be more humane and sustainable.”
