About me

I advise our clients on assignments related to mergers and acquisitions, private equity, and venture capital. I work with cross-border and domestic transactions, particularly in the technology, healthcare, finance, energy, and infrastructure sectors. I am also involved in investment rounds for growth companies, advising both growth companies and venture capital investors.

I also advise our clients with the processes regarding the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) regime in Finland.

My way of approaching assignments is business-driven and solution-oriented. I believe it is crucial to assess the macro-scale effects and possibilities of each assignment and not just focus on the smaller details – after all, our assignments increasingly take place in wide-spread global markets.

In addition to law firm experience, I have varied experience from the fields of law and business. I have, for example, worked in an asset management group and engaged as a legal advisor for a Finnish early-stage technology startup.

Due to my Estonian language skills, I have a good understanding of the Baltic market. I enjoy advising our Estonian clients operating in Finland as well as serving as a link to Estonia for our Finnish customers.

I am currently on family leave.
