Our story

Established in 2015 in Helsinki, Finland, LKOS Law Office is a family-owned, premier business law firm. 

The story of LKOS Law Office began long before its official establishment. It traces back to a life-changing meeting in November 2011, when the founding partners crossed paths in Riga, Latvia. Both partners shared a visionary dream—to establish a premier law office in Helsinki, Finland, where knowledge, professional experience, and a passion for delivering first-class, tailor-made legal services to corporate clients would converge.

Our journey began in the humble office premises on Hämeentie. As our firm grew, we relocated to Unioninkatu in 2017, and in 2024, we moved to our current location in Töölönkatu 4, where we continue to serve our clients with unwavering commitment. 

Throughout our growth, we have stayed true to our roots as a family business. This personal touch is reflected in every aspect of our practice. At the beginning of our journey, we welcomed our three amazing children into the world. As they grow, so does our firm, embodying the values of dedication and care. They are being raised with a firsthand understanding of what it means to own and nurture a business, making them an integral part of our story.

Our mission is to support and advise our clients in a manner that resolves their legal challenges once and for all. At LKOS Law Office, we tackle complex legal matters by delivering practical, business-oriented solutions. Our legal solutions are designed to be seamlessly integrated into the business operations of our clients' management teams. Our business lawyers work tirelessly to eliminate any legal obstacles that could hinder our clients' business success. This relentless dedication defines the passion that drives LKOS Law Office.

At LKOS Law Office, we do not strive to be the largest law firm by the number of offices or lawyers. Instead, our goal is to be the first choice for clients facing their most complex legal issues, significant business transactions, and critical disputes. Our journey is one of dedication, growth, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. We look forward to continuing this journey with our clients by our side, growing together and achieving new milestones.
