Touko Hakahuhta

I specialise in dispute resolution, corporate law, and trade compliance.

I advise clients in commercial disputes across a variety of business sectors. I have successfully advised clients in disputes relating to commercial contracts, mergers and acquisitions, and shareholders’ agreements, among other matters.

I assist clients in both domestic and international arbitration and litigation proceedings, as well as settlement negotiations and authority investigations. My practice also includes alternative forms of dispute resolution such as mediation and independent auditor proceedings for post-M&A disputes.

My corporate law practice focuses on corporate governance, directors` liability, and compliance and risk-related matters. I have extensive experience in sanctions, trade compliance and export control, which have become essential for succeeding in international business. My work includes advising clients on navigating sanctions and export control regimes, conducting risk assessments and mitigating risks, and advising on contract negotiations and termination of agreements.

Internal investigations are another key area of my practice. I regularly assist clients in investigations into suspected corporate crime, corruption allegations, data breaches, misappropriation of company funds or trade secrets, and misconduct in governance or employment relationships.

I hold a Master of Laws degree from the University of Helsinki. Additionally, I have a master’s degree in economics and business administration from Aalto University, where I studied accounting and business law.
