We have been once again ranked in The Legal 500 EMEA<\/a>, now in its latest 2026 edition.<\/h3>\n

Lieke\u2019s practice groups Dispute resolution<\/a>, Commercial, corporate and M&A<\/a>, Real estate and construction<\/a>, and\u00a0TMT<\/a> were recognised.<\/p>\n

Individually ranked were Partner Jussi Ekonen<\/a> (Next Generation Partners, Commercial, corporate and M&A) and Counsel Maija Ahtiainen<\/a> (Leading associates, Dispute resolution). In addition, recommended individuals were Partners Ville Vyyryl\u00e4inen<\/a>, Juho L\u00f6nnblad<\/a>, Rosa L\u00e5ng<\/a>, Marja Norrena<\/a>, and Helena Kalmanlehto<\/a>, Counsel Ida Lindfors<\/a>, and Senior Associate Hanna Tolonen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The practice is agile and very capable. The team members have an excellent ability to explain the chosen strategy in a practical and understandable way. And most importantly, they are very well business-oriented.” <\/i>(Dispute resolution)<\/p>\n

<\/i>“Lieke Attorneys are experts in corporate law. They interpret complex rules and regulations without delay, have knowledge of our business sector, and are available when needed.”<\/em> (Commercial, corporate and M&A)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

“Understanding the business in addition to the legal world makes Lieke’s team stand out.”<\/em> (Commercial, corporate and M&A)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

“Highly skilled, client-focused and exceptional talent to identify what the client’s actual need is – not what a lawyer wants to do, but what the client needs. Many other lawyers tend to spitball ideas that aim at creating more work, but not always what is crucial for the client’s business.”<\/em> (Real estate and construction)<\/p>\n

“Lieke has helped us in challenging negotiations regarding contractors’ responsibilities, as well as in the evaluation and development of contract documents in new contracts, with the aim of preventing and avoiding pitfalls in contracts that lead to possible or likely problems and disputes.”<\/em> (Real estate and construction)<\/p>\n

“Very quick and accurate answers, easy to put into practice.”<\/em> (TMT)<\/p>\n

“Lieke\u2019s TMT team stands out for its deep sector knowledge and pragmatic, business-oriented approach. They combine strong legal expertise in technology, data, and digitalisation with an excellent understanding of how these issues play out in practice for businesses.” <\/em>(TMT)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
