Borenius Strengthens its ICT and Data Capabilities with New Partner

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Erkko Korhonen as a Partner to Borenius’ IP & Technology team. Erkko will strengthen our capabilities particularly in ICT transactions, data and privacy. Erkko will lead Borenius’ Technology & Data practice together with Samuli Simojoki, and he will focus on ICT and privacy matters in particular.

We see technology and digitalisation as key drivers shaping our future business landscape, and we are determined to be among the leading advisors for the data economy. This appointment is a significant move in strengthening our position in this regard. We look forward to assisting our clients with their most demanding technology projects,” says Samuli Simojoki, the Chair of Borenius and Co-head of Borenius’ Technology practice.

Erkko is a highly experienced lawyer with significant expertise in ICT contracting and technology related questions as well as in the challenging technological aspects involved in M&A transactions, such as carve-outs and transitional arrangements. He is also a recognised expert in complex data and privacy related matters. Erkko joins Borenius from Hannes Snellman Attorneys Ltd.

I am very excited and honoured to join Borenius’ esteemed IP & Technology team. Technology and data – both personal and non-personal data – play an increasingly important role in our society and in the world of business, especially during these unprecedented times. As such, the legal and contractual aspects of these areas should be prioritised and given the attention they deserve. I’m confident that, together with Samuli and the rest of the dedicated team, we are well equipped to assist our clients on navigating through all legal questions that involve technology and data,” says Erkko Korhonen, Partner and Co-head of Borenius’ Technology practice.
