About me

I work on construction and project law assignments, advising our clients in both contentious and non-contentious matters.

I have particular experience in contract drafting, questions relating to guarantees, invoicing and liability as well as in dispute resolution regarding construction and energy law. I also give lectures on topics related to the Finnish General Conditions for Building Contracts (YSE 1998) and the General Conditions for Consulting (KSE 2013).

Before joining Castrén & Snellman, I worked as an associate at another law firm, advising clients in dispute resolution, real estate development projects and real estate transactions. I have also worked in a multinational construction firm. Before my graduation, I worked as a trainee in a Finnish oil refining company.

I hold a Master of Law degree from the University of Helsinki, and I have also studied law at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom.
