Each year, the Finnish Bar Association rewards a professional who supports colleagues and teams in achieving goals, coordinates and anticipates needs, and enables smooth daily operations for the entire organisation. Elina’s journey at Hannes Snellman began more than 20 years ago. Before her current role as a KM specialist in our Compliance and KM Team, Elina worked as an assistant and as a client relations coordinator. Reflecting on her career, Elina says: “Most of all, it has been highly rewarding. I am extremely grateful that I have been given opportunities to closely experience different roles and duties in different business areas and support functions at Hannes Snellman. I have had the privilege to see our firm from different perspectives, and thanks to that I am able to better understand our vision, values, and way of working and appreciate my colleagues even more. At the same time, I have had the front row seat to learn to understand business life, how the economic infrastructure is built, and the role of different authorities and stakeholders in it.” Managing Partner Riikka Rannikko comments on Elina’s award: “Elina is always positive, solution-oriented, broadly skilled, authentic, and eager to support others regardless of the problem or team in question. She has the ability to make everybody feel seen and heard while at the same time identifying the issue, finding a solution and typically also a development idea for a more permanent improvement. She truly lives up to Hannes Snellman’s values! Having been with us for 20+ years in various functions, she knows every person and every task, always keeps her calm and professionalism, and never makes a big deal of herself. Ellu is the talented heart and soul of the team, and she truly deserves the recognition!” Read more about Elina’s career here.
