Ingrid Remmelgas

Counsel

Ingrid is an experienced employment lawyer and advises clients in all aspects of employment law.

Ingrid’s vast experience covers, among other things, large restructurings and co-operation negotiations, drafting of employment and director agreements, and assisting with terminations of employment. She has previously also worked as a union lawyer. Ingrid helps clients to implement their HR and employee strategies and works closely with clients relating to legal risk assessment of various employment law related matters. She regularly advises clients in matters related to executive changes, consultancy arrangements, application of Finnish collective bargaining agreements, and employee incentive programmes.

Ingrid has particularly strong expertise in transactional work, and she advises clients in all employment matters in connection with mergers and acquisitions, including business transfers and post-closing matters.

Due to her diverse experience, Ingrid brings additional value to clients by helping them to understand employment law questions holistically and from different perspectives.
