"Although smaller in size than many of its competitors, this firm is highly active in the marketplace and has been experiencing an increasing amount of instructions - particularly on IT outsourcing projects - for a list of loyal clients that includes Hewlett-Packard, CA Software Finland and Lexmark Finland. The team's best-known IT lawyer is Sakari Halonen, who is rated highly for his 'flexibility, responsiveness and round-the-clock availability'. Clients also value his ability 'to get to the core of a problem immediately'. One of Halonen's recent highlights was advising Capgemini's Finnish operations on several complex new technology and IT outsourcing projects."
