“I started working at Hästö & Co as a trainee in 2015. Many years have passed and I am still working here, now as an attorney-at-law and Senior Associate. Hästö & Co is the perfect combination of a second family and a place to develop professionally every single day. All of our lawyers are encouraged to follow their own professional interests which I think is great. We get a lot of responsibility early on in our careers but support from more senior colleagues is always available. Time has gone by fast!”
