Trainee positions What kind of experience do you expect from trainee candidates? Prior work experience is a plus but not an absolute requirement. International experience – through studies, work or volunteering – is also an advantage. Required or favored languages? We expect all of our applicants to have good language skills, both oral and written. Excellent English and Finnish skills are essential, and Swedish skills are a plus. What kind of value do you put on grades? Good grades often reflect ambition, diligence and eagerness to learn which are all qualities we look for in our team members. Hence, we do value good grades in our recruitment process but we always consider each application and applicant as a whole. What else do you value in an employee? We look for genuine team players equipped with an entrepreneurial spirit, a can-do attitude and a good work ethic. Our ideal candidate would be a solution-oriented and ambitious person who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment with colleagues who are leaders in their respective fields. We hope that you genuinely want to work with different people and get to know us. Employment Students are employed for a fixed-term. Our benefits include (but are not limited to) lunch and recreational benefit, broad occupational healthcare and diverse events. Our compensation level follows the recommendations of the Association of Finnish Lawyers.
