ANKO Lakiasiaintoimisto Oy

What ANKO Lakiasiaintoimisto Oy does

ANKO Lakiasiaintoimisto Oy is a privately held Finnish law firm (osakeyhtiö) headquartered in Kouvola and operating a regional network of eight offices across Southern Finland — Kouvola, Helsinki, Espoo, Kotka, Lahti, Lappeenranta, Hämeenlinna, and Hyvinkää — with a sister company, ANKO Turussa, extending coverage to the Turku region. The firm provides a broad portfolio of legal services spanning criminal law, real estate, estate/probate, family law (including divorce, custody, and child protection), damage compensation, immigration and asylum, equality and discrimination, employment law, administrative complaints, and debt collection. Services are delivered in Finnish, Swedish, English, and Russian, with interpretation available for additional languages, and are priced under a published fee schedule effective 01.06.2026, with governmental legal aid and legal expenses insurance routinized as funding pathways.

A separate wholly-owned subsidiary, ANKO Yrityslakipalvelut Oy, handles corporate-facing engagements including contract drafting and negotiation, M&A and corporate restructuring, GDPR/data protection, dispute resolution, tax matters, financial crime defense, and corporate insolvency/restructuring. Distribution relies on physical office visits (walk-in and by appointment), phone, email, and an online booking system integrated with Microsoft Outlook; marketing is centered on the firm's website, an educational blog, and Facebook/Instagram presence. A dedicated expert team has been assembled to represent clients in the Psykoterapiakeskus Vastaamo data breach matter, and the firm maintains a whistleblowing channel compliant with the Finnish Whistleblower Protection Act. The company is led by CEO Lars Forsström, with regional and functional managers covering the multi-office network. No external investment, technology platform, or AI/ML capability is disclosed.
