We are looking for business administration students to join our business area teams in Helsinki as legal assistant trainees. As this is a trainee position, we do not expect you to know everything, but to ensure that you will be able to succeed in your duties, you should be fluent in Finnish and English and have good IT skills. Attention to detail, good interpersonal skills, and the ability to take initiative will also be helpful in this position. However, what we value the most is a positive attitude and willingness to learn.

"Working in a highly respected and successful law firm has truly been a privilege. The most rewarding aspect has been the opportunity to work with amazing individuals that have helped me to learn and grow during my traineeship. The professional and warm working environment here has inspired me to challenge myself daily." – Legal assistant trainee, 2024

What We Offer

  • A full-time paid traineeship for approximately five months starting in January 2025
  • A learning experience on the work of a legal assistant while working alongside experienced legal professionals
  • A fast-paced environment with great colleagues 
  • Tailored orientation, tutoring, mentoring, and regular feedback sessions
  • Continuous training, including our internal Hannes Academy lectures and regular mentoring breakfasts on a variety of topics
  • A comprehensive employment benefits package and recreational activities with colleagues.

As a legal assistant trainee, your duties will include email and calendar management, document management with MS Office programmes, helping with project administration, organising meetings and events, proofreading, and substituting for your assistant colleagues, to name a few examples.
