Business law · practical and straightforward
A clear position. The solution that works.
Business law for companies that need advice they can understand when making decisions. The law is fitted to the business — not the other way round.
Get in touch01 / PRACTICE AREAS
Business law, grounded in practice.
Support for day-to-day business, for changes and for demanding situations. The scope of the work is defined according to your needs.
01Contracts
Supply, service, distribution and licence agreements, non-disclosure agreements and standard terms, in Finnish and English. I draft the agreement or review the other side's draft and tell you which terms are worth negotiating and which can be accepted as they stand.
02Corporate law
Articles of association and shareholders' agreements, general meetings and board work, share issues and distribution of funds, shareholder disputes and questions of management liability.
03M&A and restructurings
Letters of intent, due diligence, sale and purchase agreements and their negotiation, mergers and demergers, share exchanges and transfers of business, and changes of ownership. I also advise on post-closing liability.
04Intellectual property
Patents, trade marks and design rights from application to monitoring, licensing and assignments, and infringement matters. I also act as an agent before the registry authorities.
05Data protection
Assessing the legal basis for processing, privacy notices and processor agreements, data subject requests, and handling and notifying personal data breaches.
06Technology law
Software and cloud service agreements, delays and defects in delivery projects, open source licences, and contractual and liability questions around the use of artificial intelligence.
07Disputes and litigation
Notices of defect and letters of claim, negotiated settlements, and conducting proceedings in the district court and court of appeal or in arbitration. I first assess whether pursuing the dispute is worth its cost.
08Public procurement
Review of invitations to tender and of tenders, assessment of award decisions, and appeals and responses before the Market Court.
02 / HOW I WORK
Law that gets things moving.
A position, not a list of options
I tell you what I recommend and why. If a risk cannot be removed, I say so plainly instead of hedging. Advice and documents in both Finnish and English.
The price is agreed in advance
A fixed fee for defined tasks, hourly billing for open-ended ones, always with an estimate and a cap agreed beforehand. If a matter is not worth pursuing, I say so before an invoice exists.
Law fitted to the situation
Your business comes first. Solutions are scaled to your objectives, your risks and the practical situation.
Business and engineering, understood
Experience of running a business helps me choose the steps that make commercial sense. As an engineer who has worked in technology, I read technical substance without an interpreter.
03 / ABOUT
Teuvo Viljamaa
I am a business lawyer. I advise companies and entrepreneurs on the legal questions that arise from running a business: agreements, ownership, intellectual property, technology, and disputes when they cannot be avoided.
Alongside legal practice I have worked in business development, sales and technology, and I hold degrees in both law and engineering. That is why my advice starts from what the business is trying to achieve rather than from the statute alone.
