Legal services in English

Northwest Legal is a law office in Espoo, Finland. We advise individuals and businesses in Finnish and English. Your matter is handled personally by Panu Häikiö, Master of Laws and licensed legal counsel.

Family, inheritance and estate matters

We assist with estate inventories, estate distribution, matrimonial property division, wills, prenuptial agreements and continuing powers of attorney. We also advise on family law and inheritance disputes.

Document and contract drafting and review

We review documents drafted in Finnish or English, including wills, prenuptial agreements, powers of attorney, estate distribution agreements, deeds of gift, promissory notes, sale agreements and leases. We also review employment contracts, shareholders’ agreements, cooperation agreements, subcontracting agreements and other commercial contracts.

We identify material risks, omissions and unclear terms in light of your objectives. Where agreed, we make the required amendments directly to the document and prepare a final version. The scope of the review is agreed before work begins.

We also draft new documents and contracts from the outset, based on your needs and objectives. This service is available to both private individuals and businesses, in Finnish and English. We agree on the scope and price before starting work.

Bilingual documents

Where needed, we can prepare Finnish and English versions within the same document, so that both parties can understand its contents. The scope and price of a bilingual version are agreed as part of the assignment.

Fees for document review

Documents for private individuals: 99,00 € per hour, including 25.5% VAT.
Business and commercial contracts: 139,00 € per hour plus 25.5% VAT (174,45 € including VAT).

You can also request a fixed total price. Send us your draft and briefly explain your objectives and what you would like us to check. We agree on the scope and price, or provide an estimate, before starting work. Fees for drafting new documents and other services are quoted separately.

Advice on Finnish law

Our services primarily concern Finnish law. The language of a document does not determine the law applicable to it. If advice on foreign law is needed, the required work is assessed and agreed separately.

Contact us

You can deal with us by email and, where needed, in an online meeting. An initial assessment of your needs is free and does not commit you to an assignment. Any engagement is confirmed separately.
