”From an associate’s perspective, it is fantastic to see a truly supportive, highly skilled and creative colleague take this next step on her professional journey.

Strengthened by this partner nomination, I am confident that we are in an excellent position to support our clients in their future opportunities and challenges relating to technology and innovation“, says Jukka Lång, Head of Innovation Powerhouse.

Collaboration with clients and partner firms worldwide is key to this approach, allowing us to stay ahead of rapid developments and implement solutions that benefit both our clients and our team.

D&I’s AI Prep List for Lawyers

As with all work, prioritising AI-related legal tasks is essential to ensure you focus your time where it is most needed. Even knowing this, the constant overflow of to-dos can be overwhelming – especially when every task is accompanied by a request to complete it yesterday. In this D&I Quarterly series, Iiris Kivikari, our Head of IP, Media and AI, gives you a peek into what is taking up space on our team members’ (virtual) desks in order to help you figure out what AI work you might want to be focusing on right now.

Our Sustainability Journey

Dittmar & Indrenius is one of Finland’s oldest law firms. This year, as we celebrate our 125th anniversary, we have been reflecting on our legacy crafted through our dedication to do the right thing, both legally and ethically. For us, sustainability has never been confined to one individual, team, or practice area but instead, it resonates in our culture, influencing everything we do, the way we serve and advise our clients, and how we take care of our people.
