Tuomas Tuominen
Associate
I joined Borenius for the first time in the autumn of 2018 as an Associate Trainee on Borenius’ Employment team. During my traineeship, I got the unique opportunity to experience the daily work life of an employment lawyer while surrounded by supportive colleagues. After I completed my traineeship, Borenius offered me the chance to stay on as a Thesis Trainee, and I was excited to accept. I graduated in the summer of 2019 and returned immediately to Borenius to work as an Associate on the same, familiar Employment team.

Jonna Yli-Äyhö
Senior Associate
I joined Borenius’ Tax team as an Associate shortly after I graduated in the spring of 2012. During my time at Borenius, I have advised clients on various demanding tax questions and participated in many interesting tax structuring and tax dispute projects. One of the highlights of my Borenius career is my secondment to Borenius’ New York office in 2019. In my current position as a Senior Associate on the Tax team, I have had the pleasure to take on more responsibility over the assignments I work on and to coach our younger tax lawyers.

Borenius Learning & Borenius Leadership Academy
We understand the concept of learning broadly and seek to challenge the traditional concept of training. The Borenius Learning programme not only aims at training legal skills but also includes other areas, such as self-leadership, career track planning, media skills and ethics workshops. The Borenius Leadership Academy provides a more in-depth look at these topics and is intended for our more senior lawyers.

You are important to us. That’s why we invest in our staff’s well-being and actively support life outside the office. We promote a flexible culture that values a healthy work-life balance. You can avail yourself of benefits related to health and well-being. Read more here.
Your career track is evaluated in terms of multifaceted quality criteria based on which your performance is measured in different development areas. In addition to legal skills, you have the opportunity to develop your self-leadership, networking and project management skills. The results of the evaluation process are introduced in your performance reviews and in connection with specific projects throughout the year.
Your Borenius tutor will guide you through your induction period, and you are always welcome to share your ideas and questions with your senior colleagues. In addition, new and returning employees are offered mentoring services, which promotes self-leadership among our lawyers. We believe that creating professional development plans and balancing work and home life are the key to further increasing our employees’ productivity.
Our strong team spirit is the key to succeeding together. The Borenius Social & Borenius Sports teams arrange regular events and activities for our staff, such as get-togethers and sports and culture events. We also support your hobbies by offering sports and culture vouchers.
Henrik Uoti
Associate
I began my Borenius career in the spring of 2019. My first position was as an Associate Trainee on the M&A team where I had the chance to work on various different M&A assignments together with a capable team of Borenius experts. After finalising my studies and working elsewhere for a while, I returned to Borenius the following year to write my thesis with the firm’s support. In the autumn of 2020, I was very glad to be offered a position as Associate on the same M&A team where I began my career.
