Legal Trainee

Want to work alongside sophisticated and driven minds at a top-tier business law firm? We are now looking for enthusiastic and

talented law students to join us for the spring, summer and fall of 2027.

At Avance, trainees are integral to our teams, working closely with lawyers across a wide range of assignments. Trainees gain

comprehensive insights into a wide range of industries with a focus on corporate transactions, dispute resolution, large projects

and various regulatory matters.

Traineeships begin in the beginning of the year, spring and autumn. The duration of the traineeship varies depending on the start

date and usually ranges between five and eight months.

As a trainee, you’ll be another extraordinary member of the team from day one, gaining hands-on experience with close support and

collaboration. Trainees contribute much like junior associates, including drafting documents, conducting research and legal

analysis, and assisting with due diligence processes. You may also support in general office tasks. We strive to provide our

trainees with a traineeship that takes into consideration their own circumstances and preferences.

Your tutor, other trainees, and everyone at Avance is here to support you during your traineeship. You can find out more about us

at Paragraaffi.

We welcome applications from second year to final stage law students. We appreciate some work experience from other law firms or a

similar work environment.

To succeed in this role, you should have fluency in Finnish and English – Swedish and other language skills are considered an

asset.

We look for individuals who share our values and want to be part of a collaborative team. A proactive mindset, strong work ethic,

and solution-oriented approach are qualities that help trainees succeed in our fast-paced environment.

Please send your application and CV (in English) and relevant certificates (transcript of studies, matriculation examination

certificate and high school diploma) through the Apply button by 27 August 2026. Please also indicate your preferred traineeship

period (e.g., spring, summer, or fall 2027), if you have such preference, in your application.

We will handle applications upon arrival and start the interviews during the application period. Positions may be filled before

the last application date.
