Career

As head of our Corporate and M&A group in Finland, Maria has in-depth experience of complex M&A transactions and corporate and commercial work.

Specialising in M&A, Maria has over 20 years' experience of structuring and negotiating complex transactions, with a focus on private M&A deals and both inbound and outbound cross-border work.

In recent years, a large part of her work has revolved around mergers & acquisitions with a technology sector angle, as well as advisory in the fields of services, automotive and infrastructure. Maria has a background in technology licensing and intellectual property, with previous responsibilities including steering group work with Business Finland. She is also a director at Bird & Bird's consultancy wing OXYGY.

In addition to M&A, Maria has longstanding experience in strategic contracting, advising clients on matters including joint ventures and co-operation contracts. A special interest area of Maria since her studies in London is Civil vs. Common law contracting, and how the small but intricate differences play out in practice.

Maria enjoys lecturing and writing and she is a regular speaker on topics including M&A and commercial contracts, as well as being the author of five books in her areas of interest. Before joining Bird & Bird, Maria was a partner at another leading law firm.
