Karri Heliö

I am an associate in our Dispute Resolution group in Helsinki, where I focus on commercial dispute resolution matters.

I advise our clients on resolving domestic and international commercial disputes, working with litigation, commercial arbitration, and alternative dispute resolution assignments.

I have been involved in arbitrations and litigations relating to international trade, construction, and energy-related matters.

My work at Bird & Bird has also included a six-month full-time secondment as Legal Counsel at a client company operating in the financial sector. What I learned was the benefit of precise legal advice, especially when processes are repetitive, and how much value it can add to the business in terms of avoiding unnecessary disputes.

Prior to graduating from the University of Lapland, I gained valuable experience from working as a trainee at two other leading law firms in Helsinki. During my studies, I also participated in Vis Moot, the largest moot court competition in the field of international commercial arbitration.
