With a significant number of highly reputable employment law experts, we have one of the largest employment groups in Finland with two partners and six lawyers. In addition, the Finnish employment team is a truly integrated part of Bird & Bird's Nordic employment team.


We offer a comprehensive range of legal advice across the full spectrum of contentious and non-contentious employment law; and offer ourselves as a one-stop-shop for “all things HR”, both domestically and as a gateway to international coverage – this is unique in comparison to our competitors.


Maisa Nikkola specializes in all areas of employment relations, boasting significant experience in a variety of mandates, including the employment aspects of transactions and the negotiation and termination of contracts. Teea Kemppinen, another key contact in the practice, co-leads the group with Nikkola.
