About
Provided by Roschier
Roschier’s TMT team brings in-depth industry understanding and client-oriented advice to regulatory issues, software licensing, supply chain or ecosystem management models and strategies, or any other item under the TMT umbrella.
Many of our lawyers have significant in-house experience with leading players, and several have dual degrees in either business or science that enhance their ability to offer clients business- and industry-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, home of Silicon Valley and the global epicenter of technology and media innovation.
Our clients benefit from seamless collaboration with other practices, across 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.
