Maarit Niemistö

As Senior Legal Counsel and LDaaS Customer Lead, I focus on supporting customers from startups to publicly listed companies especially in commercial agreements, construction law, and data protection matters.

My approach is business-driven and solution-oriented, with a strong emphasis on practical, actionable advice. I am committed to clear communication and inclusive collaboration, ensuring legal solutions are accessible and effective for each customer. I am known for my proactive attitude and ability to translate complex legal requirements into practical steps for customers.

My work covers advising, drafting and negotiating various kinds of business legal agreements as well as training on contract law. In addition, I provide advice, guidance and training on data protection matters relating to compliant processing of customer and employee data in different business sectors. This also includes drafting and reviewing documents related to the processing of personal data. All these matters can range from basic to highly complex issues, ensuring tailored support for every situation.
