Castrén & Snellman emerged as the most attractive employer in the entire Finnish legal sector in the Universum Student Rankings for the third year in a row. We have been the most popular private sector employer among law students for 17 years running, ever since the survey was first conducted in 2008. This is the fourth time we are number one in the entire legal sector.

The annual survey charts the employer image of companies in various fields among students. This year, 29% of law students chose Castrén & Snellman as the most desirable employer.

We are grateful for the recognition we have received from law students! Our long-time success and third consecutive win in Universum's survey demonstrate that our continuous efforts in supporting students and providing them with opportunities for growth is bearing fruit. Our goal remains to be the best workplace in the industry – for both students and experienced professionals. Our company culture, straightforwardness, and genuine collaboration across teams contribute to the fact that our trainees enjoy their time with us,

says HR Director Outi Ruohola.

Law students seek career growth and opportunities to learn

In recent years we have received a lot of positive feedback on our student-friendly culture where we include students in our every-day work right from the start. Based on the most recent Universum Student Rankings, opportunities for career growth and learning are of particular value for law students. They also appreciate companies that respect their people, and a competitive salary doesn't hurt either.

Each year, Castrén & Snellman employs around 100 trainees in various roles with diverse responsibilities. The trainees assist our teams with the most challenging cases in the Finnish market, gain comprehensive knowledge of business law, and thus advance on their path to becoming experts.

A total of 10,802 students from seven institutes of higher education participated in the survey this year. In addition to law students, Universum surveys students in fields such as engineering, health/medicine, business and IT.

A big thank you to students for showing your support!
