Contact details

I work in our Tax and Structuring team. I assist our clients in a wide range of domestic and international tax law assignments, including mergers and acquisitions, tax disputes and processes, and tax matters relating to private individuals.

I graduated with a Master of Laws degree from the University of Helsinki in 2025. During my studies, I completed a minor in Industrial Engineering and Management at Aalto University, which deepened my understanding of corporate strategic decision-making and business processes. This combination enables me to provide tax advice that takes into account both strategic objectives and the specific characteristics of a company’s business operations.

Before graduating, I worked as a trainee at Castrén & Snellman and gained experience in various law firms as well as at the Finnish Patent and Registration Office.
