International & Cross-Border Capabilities

Chambers Review

White & Case Helsinki is a standout practice among international and domestic firms and is readily marked out as the most prominent international law firm in the Finnish market. The law firm's appeal covers both the Nordic and global levels and it is renowned for guiding clients through cross-border work. Its well-established office in Helsinki can provide strong coverage across the Nordic states on various transactional matters, together with a similarly strong team in Sweden. Further support from the law firm's global offices, particularly those in New York and London, makes the practice a popular choice for some of the more complex, high-profile transactions involving UK and US law.

Much of the cross-border work undertaken by the law firm's Finnish team involves core transactional areas, excelling at capital markets on behalf of banks and private companies. It also has strong expertise in cross-border M&A, finance and private equity deals, where the office advises multinational clients across the Nordics, often being the first port of call on investments into Finland. The law firm is consistently praised for having a high-profile international clientele, while it also serves a list of high-profile Finnish companies and banks for pan-European and US-related work.
