Leadership and organisation

Partnership

Castrén & Snellman is owned by a group of attorneys who work in the firm. Many of our partners began their careers in our firm as young lawyers, gained a solid experience of business law over the years, and followed our career path to eventually becoming partners. Other partners first proved themselves elsewhere, for example as in house counsel for corporations, before joining Castrén & Snellman.

Our firm operates on the true partnership model, in which all the partners work together for the good of the firm and to serve our clients. This means that our clients are always served by the expert best suited to the assignment.

All of our partners participate in the daily work of our firm. The example set by our partners is a key factor in the culture and atmosphere our firm has developed. For this reason, the attorneys chosen to be partners must not only possess excellent professional skills in their field, but must also have good cooperative skills and be able to guide our younger lawyers.

We have 32 partners, 11 of whom are women.
