Roschier’s Information Technology team brings in-depth understanding and client-oriented advice on, e.g., the key aspects of digitalization offerings, such as harmonizing, automating and optimizing business processes through transformation, software licensing, or cloud services, besides managing legal risks.
Many of our lawyers have significant in-house experience with leading players, as well as, dual degrees in either business or science that enhance their ability to offer our clients business-driven insights. In addition to the Finnish and Swedish Bars, several of our lawyers are members of the bar in other jurisdictions such as New York and California.
Our clients benefit from seamless collaboration with other practices, across our teams in Finland and Sweden, and with other advisors in the Nordic region as well as across the globe. Our cross-border teams and one-stop shop approach (one partner and single point of contact for the client) provide clients with smaller teams and better cost-efficiency, streamlined and effective work practices and timely outcomes.
