Technology

Technology – especially information technology – plays an increasingly important role in the operations and functions of businesses and the society. This creates numerous occasions where legal expertise can provide added value in the long run.

Our highly recognised and skilled Technology team is well equipped to advise you on the most demanding technology related assignments. We provide you with practical and strategic advice that will bring extra value for your business and operations.

We are on the top of legal developments in Finland, Europe and around the globe through our extensive international network of law firms.
