Career stories

Associate

Sami Koponen

I joined P&H as an Associate in August 2023. A friend of mine who works at P&H praised the good team spirit in the office, the organization of work-life balance and the diversity of assignments and work tasks. Based on these, I decided to apply for the position, and I have not regretted my decision for a single day. In addition to the above, I have especially liked the fact that the assignments are handled by a compact team. This ensures that already as a new to the field, you get to experience the life cycle of the assignment up close, participate in client meetings and receive a suitable amount of responsibility. In addition, this enables you to learn effectively from more experienced lawyers. It is a pleasure to work with challenging legal problems, in a supportive working environment where the employee’s development and free time is also valued.

Associate

Olivia Salonen

My career at P&H commenced as a Senior Trainee in 2023. Upon my graduation in spring 2024, I had the opportunity to continue here as an Associate. I particularly enjoy that I have been able to diversely assist in assignments of different practices, even as a newly graduated lawyer. Getting to know several different practices has been interesting and educational, especially in the early stages of my career. During my internship, I appreciated the opportunity to work in the customer interface and thus gained valuable experience in concrete client work in the advocacy world. This experience is an asset now as an Associate. Above all, the atmosphere at P&H is cheerful, receptive, and encouraging. The workdays are well balanced with joint lunches and snack breaks with colleagues.

Associate

Sonja Heinonen

I started working at P&H as a Senior Trainee in 2018 and after graduating in the spring of 2021, I continued working at P&H as an Associate. I believe that the best thing about P&H is a nice work community with a low hierarchy. In addition, the company invests in taking care of the well-being and comfort of employees. When it comes to working at P&H, I particularly appreciate that we can focus on matters that interest us but at the same time it is also possible to work beyond the “team limits” in many areas of law – thus increasing one’s own competence and skills in a wide range of expertise, even if you specialize in a particular field of law.

Senior Trainee

Hilma Laamanen

During multiple internships, I have become a part of P&H’s work community and everyday life of the law firm. I started as an Office Support Trainee in the Back Office doing different assisting tasks from which I went on to become a Trainee and later a Senior Trainee. From the beginning, my work assignments have been diverse and become more demanding hand in hand with my own expertise. Therefore, I feel that my learning curve has been consistently upwards led. The atmosphere at P&H is immediate, supportive and inclusive. Trainees are included in assignments and receive feedback both during tasks and separate feedback discussions. One of the best parts has also been the mentality of working together, which is reflected, for example, in close cooperation over practice limits.

Associate

Iida Kangaspeska

I started my P&H career first as a Senior Trainee and after my graduation I was given an opportunity to continue working with the firm as an Associate. The atmosphere has been warm and welcoming since the very first day and colleagues are definitely one of the best things about working at our firm. It has been delightful to see that our professional growth is valued, and the support of more experienced colleagues is always available. At P&H, we get the opportunity to work with versatile and challenging assignments and gain experience from a wide range of legal fields, which enables us to expand our skills beyond one practice and to grow into well-rounded experts of business law.

Senior Trainee

Freddy Lindholm

I have been working as Senior Trainee at P&H for about a year since January 2022. I have primarily worked in the Dispute Resolution and International Trade teams, which was also my preference at the start of my traineeship. The best part of working at P&H has been the genuine collaboration and teamwork, and as a trainee I have been fully part of the team and involved in client meetings from the beginning. I’ve been given more and more responsibility as I’ve gained experience, and I’ve learned a lot during the year working on some really interesting assignments. International clients and assignments have also added their own spice to the work, the most interesting of which have been various international arbitration proceedings. It has always been fun to come to work, and thanks to my fantastic colleagues, many after work evenings have been spent at the office as well.

“I like working at P&H because here all employees are supported in their professional development. Moreover, we have a low hierarchy and a nice work community. In addition, it is nice to notice that I am increasingly more able to help, for example, younger colleagues. I received the same kind of support here during my traineeship and have always appreciated it.”
