What Roschier does

Roschier is a full-service Nordic law firm founded in 1936 and headquartered in Helsinki, with a second office in Stockholm, Sweden. The firm operates with nearly 300 legal practitioners delivering bespoke legal advice across practice areas including Corporate M&A, Tax & Structuring, Dispute Resolution, Intellectual Property, Competition, Real Estate, Employment, Digitalization & TMT, ESG and Corporate Investigations & Compliance. Roschier serves blue-chip Nordic and multinational clients—primarily listed companies, private equity firms, and international corporations operating in or entering the Nordic region. The firm has been the exclusive Finnish member of Lex Mundi since the late 1980s and is a member of the International Bar Association.

The firm's revenue model is professional services-based: fees are generated through hourly billing, fixed fees for defined matters, and transaction-based fees tied to M&A and capital markets mandates; pricing is negotiated on a client-by-client basis and not publicly disclosed. Roschier's product surface extends beyond advisory to include proprietary knowledge assets—the Roschier Disputes Index biennial market survey, the Roschier Disputes Toolkit, the Swedish-language 'Hire & Fire' employment law podcast, the Roschier Think Tech seminar series and Roschier Reflections—and digital client tools including a Secure Email Portal for encrypted messaging and the Roschier Brands Extranet for IP portfolio management. Notable 2026 mandates include advising Reaktor Group on its Nasdaq Helsinki IPO at approximately EUR 210 million market capitalization, InfraVia Capital Partners on Gruvaktiebolaget Viscaria's SEK 2.4 billion directed share issue, Niam on a 131-unit rental apartment acquisition in Upplands Väsby, and SAKA Finland on its acquisition of Suomen Autohuolto.

Leadership is split between Group Managing Partner Johan Sidklev, Managing Partner (Helsinki) Mikko Manner and Managing Partner (Stockholm) Fredrik Rydin, supported by an executive team including a Chief Digital Officer, CFO, CMO and COO. The firm has captured Law Firm of the Year for Finland at the Chambers Europe Awards in both 2024 and 2025, and holds Tier 1 placements across IFLR1000, Legal 500 EMEA, Managing IP EMEA, ITR World Tax and Lexology Index for 2025; it also won European Law Firm of the Year and Law Firm of the Year: Northern Europe at The Lawyer European Awards 2023 alongside consecutive Nordic Firm of the Year recognitions at the Managing IP EMEA and LMG Life Sciences Awards through 2024–2026.
