Trainee
If you are in the final stages of your studies, highly motivated and prepared to work in one of the truly international business law firms in Finland, we are happy to introduce you to our Trainee program.
Following comments are from our former Trainees:
"It was great to work in an international and welcoming atmosphere without being placed on any one particular practice group. Hence the assignments I completed on a daily basis were very diverse, which kept things interesting."
"The topmost impression of my traineeship is the relaxed atmosphere. I have probably never laughed as much as I did – thanks to my colleagues with whom we handled even the tightest schedules with humor. In addition to being an internationally recognised law firm, Bird & Bird is also a fun place to work where every 'birdie's' effort is valued."
"During my Trainee period in Bird & Bird I had a chance to get acquainted with different legal fields and perform variable work assignments, such as research, translations and document drafting. I consider the best situations in my Trainee period to be the ones where I felt like part of the team and got to use customer-oriented, creative thinking. I am leaving the BB house with positive mind and with lots of great experiences."
The application for Trainee periods in spring 2018 is now closed. Please check back in spring 2018 for the next application cycle.
