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. - Rilla Ojala, Associate
