Position

As a member of the Employment department Timo provides legal guidance to national and international companies on collective and individual employment and labour law issues. One of his main focuses is formulating strategies and implementing company reorganisations and restructurings, including the protection of companies’ interests in the field of shops’ committees and social partnerships. He has particular expertise in designing and negotiating collective agreements, a topic he dealt with in greater detail in his doctoral thesis in regard to wage agreements governed by the law of obligation and non-exempt social partnership agreements. He also has sound experience in international trade law. Due to his good business connections in Northern Europe – Finnish is his second mother language – Timo advises clients from Finland and Scandinavia on their business activities in Germany and on cross-border legal issues.
