Our Junior Trainee programme is designed for students who are at the early stage of their law studies. As a Junior Trainee you can easily combine your work and studies by working part-time approximately 2 days per week. Together with your Junior Trainee colleagues, you will assist Bird & Bird lawyers, business service staff and Trainees. Your main duties will include diverse office work. Our Junior Trainee programme is a great opportunity for you to get a front row seat to the everyday life at one of the leading law firms in Finland and to gain treasured work experience alongside your studies.

The Trainee programme consists of 5-6 intensive months during which you will work as a full-time Trainee. The purpose of the programme is to give you an overview of Bird & Bird as well as offer you an opportunity to try your ‘birdie’ wings in practising commercial business law. You will work for various practice groups assisting the firm’s lawyers in diverse and challenging assignments. As we think it is important for you to start looking for your future field of specialisation in commercial business law, we also aim to give you an opportunity to work more closely with one of our practice groups at the later stage of your traineeship. Your duties will include similar work as our newly graduated lawyers do, for example, drafting legal documentation and collecting information regarding a wide variety of issues. You will be supported by your Trainee colleagues and an assigned personal tutor, who will guide you through your entire traineeship.

As a Thesis Trainee you will have the firm’s extensive knowledge services as well as support from our experts across all jurisdictions at your fingertips.
