Careers

Responsibility

We always strive for the best possible result, but not at the expense of health, quality or the environment. We believe that happy employees make happy clients. Our work is guided by our values—The Spark, Respect, Courage, Responsibility—and we nurture these values every day.

Our employees run the full range of life situations, with all of the various wishes and life goals that come with them. As a firm, we have all agreed to work together to ensure that our working community is the best possible workplace in all life situations. We continually seek new ways to help our employees find balance in their day-to-day lives. Flexible working hours, remote work or providing babysitters for sick children are just a few solutions that can save the day of employees juggling work and family responsibilities.

We strive to constantly improve our operations as a responsible employer. That’s why we are committed to endorsing the six principles of the Oikotie Responsible Employer campaign.

A Positive Spirit

According to our employees, well-being and enjoyment at work are clear strengths of our firm. We play as one team no matter the situation and we want to help each other shine. Our shared values, supportive atmosphere and supervisors, and opportunities to develop professionally are the cornerstones of well-being at our firm. Every day, we build a work community where empathy, ambition and great results meet.

In addition to our positive spirit, the opportunity to have a say and find meaning in work are key components of the joy of work. Many of our employees find meaning, for example, in seeing how their work helps our clients succeed. We believe that it is possible for the law to make the world a better place.

The Foremost Cases

Many lawyers choose to work at Castrén & Snellman for the opportunity to work on Finland’s most important and challenging assignments and to work closely with some of the most interesting clients in Finland. When top-tier skills meet ambition and the joy of work, anything is possible. We are driven to provide Finland’s best legal services and be the best place to work in the business. We challenge ourselves, each other and our clients every day to build success stories.

We encourage all of our employees to develop their expertise extensively. For lawyers this can mean going on secondment in a client company or participating in court training. About half of our assignments are international, which brings an extra dimension to the work that many of our employees appreciate. We value international experience and many of our lawyers have studied or worked abroad at some point in their careers.
