I advise our domestic and international clients on assignments related to technology, data privacy, and intellectual property law.

Prior to my graduation, I gained experience in several trainee positions at Castrén & Snellman and as an in-house advisor at a leading, publicly listed video game company.

In addition to my Master of Laws degree, I am a computer science undergraduate at the University of Helsinki. Before starting my career in the legal field, I was employed in various technical positions in the cybersecurity industry. My background in computer science and cybersecurity has provided me with a deep understanding of information security, artificial intelligence, software development, and game development.
