We identify the authorisations, registrations and notifications required for operations in Finland and across the EU. We help you obtain and maintain them—ensuring smooth, proactive engagement with the authorities. 


Compliance services 

We work with you to build and strengthen a compliance function that meets regulatory requirements and supports your business. Our services include full or partial outsourcing, as well as standalone support such as compliance training, audits and advisory.

We draft and review fund LPAs, rules, prospectuses and key investor documents. We also advise on marketing, distribution and reporting, and support institutional investors with fund investments—covering due diligence and side letter negotiations. 


Regulatory interpretations, legal notes and reports 

We provide practical interpretations of MiFID II, PRIIPs, AIFMD, UCITS, MAR, AMLD and SFDR. Our legal notes, reports and policies support regulatory compliance and verify the fulfilment of regulatory requirements. We also assist in responding to authority enquiries. 


Contracts and internal guidelines 

We draft and review contracts and internal guidelines for financial sector operations—including brokerage, portfolio management, custody, outsourcing, cooperation and non-disclosure agreements. We also support with drafting and reviewing risk management, insider and conflict-of-interest policies. 


Sustainability advisory

Securities market legislation 

We support you with securities marketing, including prospectus assessments and exemption applications. We help ensure compliance with disclosure obligations and major shareholding notifications, and facilitate authority interactions. 


Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing 

We help you identify and manage risks related to customers, transactions and geographical exposure. We help you manage AML/CTF risks by drafting and updating policies and procedures, and by supporting your reporting obligations and authority interactions.
