People First

Some say it – we mean it! We take people seriously, which is why we invest heavily in personal and professional growth of our people. 

Our goal is to be the best at development in the legal industry!

Our ambition is that your time at Brækhus will be the best time of your career. We offer unique development opportunities through tailored development programs and actively cultivate a learning culture in the workplace.

At our firm, everyone is an owner

In 2024, we made an unconventional decision and made all employees synthetic co-owners of the company. This means that everyone has a say in shaping our shared future. You will have the right to attend and vote at the general meeting and receive dividend payments.

Brækhus Academy

Brækhus Academy is our internal academy that provides you with relevant skill development and up-to-date knowledge throughout your career.

The academy consists of various course and lecture modules in non-legal subjects that are still essential knowledge and competencies for a lawyer’s practice.

The program is developed by some of the top professionals in the industry. This ensures that you have all the tools you need to become a skilled lawyer and always stay one step ahead.

Mentorship Program

At Brækhus, you will be assigned an experienced mentor who will help you achieve your goals and ambitions through a tailored career plan. Our mentors receive training for their role and ongoing guidance from our in-house performance coach.  

Development Opportunities Across Borders

At Brækhus, you have the opportunity to participate in professional and cultural exchanges with one of our partner firms in our global network of law firms. There is also the possibility to take part in young leadership programs. 

A strong social community

We are committed to making you feel included and part of our community. We have an open and supportive culture where everyone feels welcome.

You won’t be eating lunch alone, and you’re invited to join group runs, football matches, Barry’s workouts, dog meetups, Friday drinks, “knit and sip” gatherings, or parental meetups.

We love going on cabin trips and traveling to exciting destinations together. In 2022, we went to Lofoten, and in 2024, we explored Svalbard. Every year, we participate in the Holmenkollen Relay, and in 2025, we’re running the New York Marathon.

At Brækhus, I am part of an inspiring team, which means that I am constantly developing as a lawyer, and enjoy my job a lot.
