B&K has two members of the German Bar Association and is able to provide a unique service offering in matters concerning German law and its markets. B&K partner Riku Paanila heads the B&K German desk team and has been a member of the German Bar Association since 1997. The team is joined by B&K associate Kare Hyvärinen, who is also admitted as an attorney at law to the German Bar Association.
No other first tier law firm in Finland has two practising members of the German Bar Association. The team is strengthened by associates who have studied in Germany and have professional experience in corporate transactions with German components.
The B&K German Desk provides contract, corporate law and transactions-related services in fluent German. For Finnish clients, this combination offers a unique possibility to obtain reliable advice on German market and German law matters. The B&K German Desk team also regularly advises German-speaking clients who have business interests in Finland on contract, corporate law and M&A related issues.
For German speaking clients, our team is able to deliver straight-to-the-point services in their own language. We can identify the differences between the legal systems and market customs, and thus give precise and business-relevant guidance on Finnish legal issues.
