Legal Lounge as a law firm

We are a Helsinki based law firm established in 2012. We offer private clients legal services in family and criminal law. Our attorneys are members of the Finnish Bar Association and licensed with the Board of Licensed Legal Counsels of Finland. We work as litigators, mediators and advisors in dispute resolution in legal proceedings in and outside the courtroom and represent clients in preliminary police investigations.

Both our partners Hanna Rahikka and Marja Välilä are fluent in English. Our founding partner Marja Välilä was raised abroad with attendance in several international schools (ACS International Schools & German Swiss International School). In addition to studies and training in Finland, she has studied law in South Africa and trained in mediation with the New York City Bar. As a young lawyer, she worked at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in Tanzania. International clients from all backgrounds are a natural and welcomed part of our business.

International clients

Throughout the years we have had the priviledge of serving a wide-range of international clients, both foreigners living in Finland as well as families expanding over country borders. Cross-border custody cases as well as divisions of marital assets are typical cases for our international clients, and with our client experiences we have become familiar with several foreign laws, such as the Islamic Family law in the UAE. Our working languages are Finnish and English.

We encourage you to seek legal advice and, together with our legal professionals, find a solution to your unique situation. We charge an hourly fee of approx. 310-390 €/h for private clients. Come and meet us at Legal Lounge, and find out and know your rights in Finland.
