Junior Trainees
Start your success story as a trainee at Castrén & Snellman
We offer law students at the start of their studies a window into the daily routines of a law firm as part of our tight-knit team of junior trainees.
As a junior trainee, you will assist our lawyers and internal business services in a wide variety of office tasks. For example, you will courier documents to authorities and clients, prepare materials relating to client assignments, help organise client events and handle office routines.
You will thoroughly get to know our firm’s daily routines and employees as well as develop your organisational and team-work skills. Our junior trainees work in the same room and decide how to handle the requests received by the team and organise the team’s work together. You will be supported by the team’s supervisor Saga and tutors Sara and Lars, who will help you get to know the firm and its people and answer any questions you may have.
The work days of junior trainees are varied and fast-paced. The ability to adapt quickly is important. You are well suited to work as a junior trainee if you are a good team player and problem solver with a service-minded, positive and proactive approach to work.
No prior experience of the legal service industry is required for this position, but prior work experience, for example in customer service, is a plus.
