Mikko Nurmisto

As a Counsel in our Helsinki-based Intellectual Property group, I specialise in advising clients on a broad range of IP issues.

Our IP Group in Helsinki handles both contentious and non-contentious IP matters.

In particular, I have specialised in copyright, trademark and marketing law issues. Since joining Bird & Bird in 2013, I have also gained experience in drafting technology and other IP related agreements and assisting in litigation. I have also conducted a number of IP due diligences and assisted in regulatory matters as well as giving lectures and training for clients and IP professionals.

I have experience advising clients across various sectors. Due to my earlier profession and experience within media, I have a strong interest in media and communications issues. Before joining Bird & Bird, I worked for several years as a professional journalist on the economics desk of a Finnish daily newspaper. This experience has provided me excellent research and writing skills that have been proven very useful in my daily work at Bird & Bird.

I am a member of the Finnish Bar Association, the Finnish Association for Industrial Property Rights, the Finnish IT Law Association, the Finnish Fashion Law Association and the Finnish Copyright Society.
