About
Provided by Kim Parviainen
Practice Areas
I work with all things intellectual property and digital. In particular, my work focuses on regulatory issues and litigation in the digital space.
I routinely act for clients in, e.g. complicated intellectual property, data protection and technology-related projects and disputes. I have represented clients in litigation before both national and European courts, before arbitral tribunals, as well as in a range of regulatory proceedings and appeals. Clients also often appreciate my technical expertise and understanding of the technological and business details of the projects and disputes I advise on.
Frequently, I am also asked by clients help draft and negotiate complex commercial contracts on everything from multi-jurisdictional licensing deals for both tech and content, to selective distributorship, R&D, consortia, standardisation and so on.

"His particular skill is that he writes the most excellent briefs. He is a skilled lawyer, knowing laws by heart and every case that has ever happened in Finland, but he also gets how things work in practice and gives super practical advice, and that's how he writes his briefs, which makes them understandable."
"Kim Parviainen has very broad knowledge of IP, and of copyright in particular. When it comes to case law from the EU, the underlying directives and subject matter knowledge, he is at a very high level."
