Legal services

Managing and resolving various legal matters is an integral part of a company’s daily operations and an entrepreneur’s everyday life. These issues often require swift action. The lawyers at Tuokko have extensive and versatile experience in providing companies and private individuals with legal advice. Our lawyers apply an efficient and solution-oriented approach to our clients’ legal matters, while carefully taking all relevant aspects into account.

Taking tax implications into account in all legal services enables us to provide the most optimal solution for each situation.

Legal matters related to the daily operations of a company

In daily business operations, legal matters may concern areas such as contracts, corporate governance, or employment relationships. Typical situations in which we have assisted companies include:

Corporate governance documents, such as minutes of meetings and amendments to the articles of association
Regulatory filings, such as notifications submitted to the Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH)
Drafting and reviewing contracts, including sale and purchase agreements and employment contracts
Employment-related matters
Dispute resolution
Company formation and dissolution

Corporate transactions and structural changes

Changes in a company’s structure, ownership, or operations — such as international expansion or scaling up operations — require careful planning and legal expertise. We have assisted our clients in matters including:

Mergers, demergers, and share exhanges
Changes in the company’s legal form
Advisory services in mergers and acquisitions
Succession processes and other arrangements supporting the continuity of business operations
Drafting and reviewing shareholder agreements and other corporate law agreements

Such situations often require a careful tax assessment to ensure that the outcome is both commercially sound and tax efficient. At Tuokko, legal and tax expertise go hand in hand — we identify the tax implications at each stage of the process and factor them into our advice throughout the engagement.
