Jutta Nieminen
Counsel, Member of the Finnish Bar
About me
I am an experienced and business-oriented attorney with a demonstrated working history in the area of employment law and HR-advisory covering the entire employment life cycle from recruitment to termination and all in-between, including workplace data privacy issues.
My particular knowledge covers employment and executive-level agreements, co-operation obligations, reorganisations and other change situations in employment relationships, redundancies and employment- related issues on corporate transactions. In addition, I regularly counsel employers on various employment- related data protection matters, such as on privacy statements of labour and employers’ data protection obligations.
Although my work experience mainly consists of working in several Finnish major law firms, I have also gained valuable, business-driven experience from two secondments as an in-house lawyer, first in a publicly listed Nordic food company and second in a Finnish multinational telecommunications, information technology and consumer electronics company.
Working life and ways of working have undergone great changes over the past years. My role is to bridge clients’ business needs and the requirements derived from employment law in this rapidly changing environment by creating solutions that help clients to reach their strategic objectives. I am genuinely passionate and curious about employment law issues and eager to provide added value to clients. My working approach is systematic and very pragmatic.
In addition to legal assignments, I regularly provide tailored in-house training and workshops for clients on employment topics of all kinds and I enjoy speaking to an audience.
