Partner Emma Niemistö Wins Lexology’s Client Choice Award 2026

We are delighted to announce that Partner Emma Niemistö, Head of our Projects & Construction practice, has been selected as the sole recipient for the prestigious Lexology Client Choice Award 2026 for Construction in Finland.
 
Established in 2005, the Client Choice Awards recognises law firms and partners worldwide who demonstrate exceptional client care and service quality. What makes this accolade particularly meaningful is that nominations can only be made by in-house client representatives, reflecting their genuine appreciation for outstanding legal service.
 
Emma's selection acknowledges her ability to add unrivalled value to clients' projects through her unique combination of legal expertise, technical knowledge and commercial awareness. With over 15 years' experience, she has handled some of the most significant investment projects in Finland, from major industrial and infrastructure developments to cutting-edge data centre projects and green transition investments.
 
Clients have praised Emma's exceptional service, noting that "her expertise is second to none" and describing her as "highly approachable, responsive, and a genuinely pleasant professional to collaborate with throughout complex project phases." Several client testimonials consistently highlighted her proactive and solution-oriented approach as well as a hands-on, no-nonsense attitude to getting work done. Acknowledging her strong handle on claims management and representing clients also in contentious mandates, one of the referees commended her as "one of the best negotiators you can have in a construction dispute in Finland."
 
This recognition reinforces Emma's position as a leading construction law specialist in Finland and celebrates the exceptional client service that defines her practice.
