Why – our mission
Our day-to-day work at Castrén & Snellman is guided by our values and mission. We understand our mission as the core purpose of our company, the answer to the question, ‘Why does our firm exist?’
We affirmed our mission statement together:
Building sustainable success stories.
Our values
Our values are: the Spark, Respect, Courage and Responsibility. We have affirmed these values together on the basis of extensive discussions so that we could all commit to them.
The Spark
We take our client’s matter to heart. We put ourselves on the line for our clients and push each other to exceed our clients’ expectations. The spark is born of trust, close interaction and the professional ambition of each individual. We are driven by the spark to provide the best legal service in Finland and to be the best workplace in the legal sector.
Respect
No matter what the situation is, we always play as one team. We help our clients and one another shine. Every day, we build a work community where empathy, ambition and great results meet.
Courage
We follow our own path. We don’t look for easy wins but have the courage to take a stand and to do what is right. We question, we develop ourselves and we look ahead.
Responsibility
Our business is a business of trust. We stand by our clients with integrity. We always strive towards the best possible result, but not at the expense of health, quality or the environment.
Sustainability
We are a forerunner of sustainable business in the legal services industry. We promote equality, diversity and the meaningfulness of work in our field and fight climate change. Our sustainability work covers three areas: client work, our own activities and impact on society.
