Rilla Ojala
Senior Associate
"I began my career at Borenius as a part-time Knowledge Management (KM) Trainee. During my KM traineeship, I had the chance to assist all of the different teams at Borenius, which helped tremendously in finding what I am interested in. I kept coming back to dispute resolution and criminal law, so I decided to apply for an Associate Trainee position that opened on Borenius’ Dispute Resolution team. I wrote my thesis as a Thesis Trainee with the firm’s support and moved on to the position of Associate on the same team in the autumn 2020."

Our KM Trainees are tasked with assisting our lawyers e.g. with information gathering for client assignments and with various research and translation tasks. Our KM Trainees get to experience working with many different practices and assist all of our teams. We provide our KM Trainees with the chance to experience working in different fields of law, which can help them figure out their future career path.
Our KM team is comprised of a KM Specialist and two lawyers (a KM Lawyer and a Knowledge Manager) in addition to four to five trainees. Our KM Trainees are usually about halfway through their studies.
Our KM Trainees work, on average, two to three shifts per week. KM Trainees will organise their shifts together with their teams to ensure that no one needs to skip a class or an exam. In the summer, trainees are welcome to organise their shifts in a way that allows them to take more time off. In a nutshell, our shift system is very flexible in order to make it as easy as possible for our trainees to combine their studies with working part time.
