Arttu Ruukki
I assist our clients primarily with matters related to intellectual property rights, contract law, data use, and the application of artificial intelligence. In particular, the rapidly evolving regulation of AI, data and digital services, as well as Fondia’s own service development in these areas, fall under my responsibility, as I lead Fondia’s data economy expert team. I help clients implement new data-related regulation in practice – in their products, contracts, and internal processes. I also give talks and provide training to our clients on these topics.
Before joining Fondia, I worked in the mechanical engineering industry and the ICT sector in various in-house positions. I have gained experience in contract negotiations in several roles, in corporate law through company governance work, and in the design and implementation of various compliance policies. My particular area of expertise is software licensing, especially the legal aspects of open source software.
I aim to approach all questions and situations from a business-oriented and practical perspective.
