“For a future lawyer, Hannes Snellman gives you the whole package – supportive and talented co-workers, a positive atmosphere, and a variety of exciting assignments from interesting clients. I feel I grew substantially as a young professional during my summer trainee position, and I always felt that people at Hannes encouraged this growth. It was motivating to work with assignments in the field of law that I am interested in. Even as the traineeship progressed, I was able to challenge myself daily, which was rewarding. Hannes also values recreational activities that allows teams to grow together from day one. From lectures to activities and the occasional party, there is always something happening at the office!”

“M&A work offers a great vantage point to get familiar with different businesses and see how different industries work. When working in M&A, you also get to continuously be in touch with other people, whether clients, counterparties, or other advisors participating in the project, both in Finland and abroad. In the M&A Team, you also get to see the whole life cycle of a transaction project. The perks combined: you rarely have a dull day at work.”
