International & Cross-Border Capabilities

Chambers Review

Bird & Bird's Finland practice has a strong focus on acting internationally for clients within regulated industries, particularly the TMT and life sciences sectors. The law firm's presence in Finland is largely praised for its cross-border M&A work for businesses in those areas, serving a mixture of local clients growing out and global clients which are represented in conjunction with other offices within the Bird & Bird network. The law firm also offers reputable capabilities across disputes, employment law and TMT matters.

The team in Helsinki is particularly active on cross-border issues across the Nordics, offering a useful combination with the firm's presence in Stockholm to handle issues involving Finland and Sweden. The team is also noted for taking lead and local counsel roles in cross-border matters involving Norway, the Baltic region and the UK, with work typically involving technology platform acquisitions, GDPR compliance and small to mid-market value M&A deals.
