Ville Kivistö

I'm a partner based in Helsinki, specialising in criminal and civil litigation, as well as implementing effective compliance programmes.

I am one of the leading individuals in corporate crime litigations and investigations in Finland.

I am a specialist in criminal law and a highly experienced counsel in corporate crime litigation matters. Apart from being an excellent litigator, I am a strong advocate for companies and advise boards on liability and compliance issues, design compliance programs and conduct internal investigations for proactive remediation.

I have very broad experience in white-collar crime, in a wide range of fraud and bribery matters (including accounting, securities, environmental, trade secrets and tax), as well as in compliance and regulatory issues for companies, board members or higher level management. I am also experienced in advising on cybercrime resilience, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and trade sanctions.

I have over 20 years' experience in high-profile corporate crime matters. Furthermore, I regularly lecture about Corporate Compliance and Financial Crime.

I am a member of the Finnish Bar Association's Criminal Law Expert Group.
