Become an Office Trainee at Dottir – applications now open!
Dottir is not your traditional business law firm. We are a forward-looking firm that caters to future-oriented organisations. We provide comprehensive legal services covering all aspects of technological and societal change. We have built a one-of-a-kind work culture that values authenticity and open-mindedness.
Our upcoming Office Trainee internship kicks off in January 2026 and runs for 12 months on a part-time basis. The role is designed for law students who are still early in their studies (beginning or midway) but already curious about how things work behind the scenes. As an Office Trainee, you’ll support our day-to-day office work and occasionally jump in to assist with legal research and drafting.
Why Dottir might be your kind of place
- Supportive & low-hierarchy culture – We pride and cherish the work environment we’ve built – an authentic, supportive “we’ve got your back” type of workplace. Our culture is progressive and open- minded, with minimal hierarchy.
- Every day’s a little different – One day you’re helping set up an event and welcoming our guests at the reception; the next, you’re drafting trade register filings, conducting legal research, and delivering documents to authorities – doing real work that sets you up for what’s next.
- Fair compensation and benefits – We believe all trainees deserve fair compensation – and we’re upfront about it from day one. On top of that: tennis and other wellness activities, office massages, memorable events, lunch and culture benefits, and comprehensive healthcare – including dental.
What we’re looking for
- A legal mind with a good amount of curiosity – You’re a law student with a budding interest in business law and a desire to learn by doing.
- Language skills – You are fluent in both written and spoken Finnish and English.
- Right mindset skills – You’re practical, detail-driven, and quick to take initiative. You care about the quality of your work and doing things well – whether it’s for a client or a teammate – you bring a good mix of professionalism and “pleasant-to-work with” energy. Digital tools are your friends, and when problems pop up, you enjoy solving them.
- Adaptable collaborator who is ready to roll – You work well with others, stay flexible when things shift, and don’t shy away from jumping into whatever lands in your inbox that day.
Send your application and CV in English via the application link by 15 May 2025.
