Finance and insurance is one of the most thoroughly and complexly regulated fields.
We are a reliable and skilled partner in all issues you may encounter due to regulation and market changes.
In addition to client assignments, we participate actively in legislative work and in developing market practices. Janne Lauha currently chairs the Finnish Bar Association’s Securities and Finance Law Expert Group and he is also an appointed expert of the Finnish Ministry of Justice in matters relating to securities law.
