Mr. Uoti is also a very convincing person who gives the (well earned) impression that he is on top of the issue he is handling. Seppo Havia has extensive knowledge of employment law and is a leading expert. Mika Kärkkäinen is a rising star who has worked in Dittmar for a relatively short time but has shown outstanding skills especially regarding his knowledge of the current legislation, relevant court cases etc.’
