Sakari Aalto, (LL.Lic), has extensive experience in data protection and technology law. Aalto worked as a partner on Merilampi’s Technology team in 2010 - 2013 and prior to that as a partner at Roschier Attorneys for eight years. Before returning to Merilampi, Aalto worked as the head of licensing and legal at Uretek, a company specialising in providing solutions to problems of sinking and settling foundations.

"I am really looking forward to returning to advocacy and to Merilampi. Working as a lawyer at an international technology company pursuing a strong growth path has given me new perspectives on the role of the legal issues in corporate business. I believe that after this experience I am better equipped to respond to the hopes and demands that customers set for legal services", says Aalto.

"Questions concerning data protection, the utilisation of Big Data, Internet of Things (IoT) and also more generally digitalisation are ever more important to our customers. Sakari, as one of the leading data protection experts in Finland, allows us to provide better support to our customers in challenges relating to these questions", says the head of Merilampi’s Technology team Jussi Lampinen.

"It is great to put Sakari’s expertise and experience to the use of our customers again. Sakari’s extensive contact network both in Finland and abroad is a valuable addition to us as our business grows and becomes more international", comments Merilampi’s Managing Partner Jussi Ikonen.
