Careers

At DKCO, we focus on long-term, client-oriented relationships. To achieve this goal, we must always be able to offer the highest possible quality in our services, which cannot be done without resources and expertise, motivated staff and effective processes.

Take your next step with us

We have an unique team spirit at DKCO; we work towards the same goals, share the same ambitions and strongly believe in the dynamic team’s ability to perform. Our way of working makes the cooperation between the lawyers stimulating. We encourage, criticise and assist each other. This way we constantly develop our professional knowledge and experience.

Lawyers

Your ability to look for new solutions is essential. Besides the formal requirement of a master in law, we assume that our lawyers have excellent skills in Swedish, Finnish and English. A period of service in a district court is seen as a bonus, as well as a higher education in economy or another field of interest. If you also have an open approach to change and development, in combination with courage and curiosity, you might be one of us in the future. We admire these abilities highly, since we are convinced that successful lawyers must have more qualities than just legal competence.

If you are interested in joining our team, we hope to receive a free-form application from you, where you describe yourself, your education, goals and expectations. Please send your application to dan.karlsson@dkco-law.com together with your CV and certificate of graduation and employment. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions about employment at DKCO.
