Properta succeeds in three categories in the Chambers Europe and the Legal 500 rankings of 2025

International law firm ranking agencies have now recognized Properta’s expertise in three categories. In addition to our long-recognized expertise in intellectual property and real estate, Properta’s dispute resolution expertise has now also received increasing recognition.

The recent success of Properta’s real estate team in the Chambers Europe rankings received a great continuation, as it was afain listed in the “Spotlight Table” category under Real Estate – Construction.

Proparta’s real estate experts were recognized for their broad expertise in the real estate sector and their efficiency in handling assignments. Additionally, Properta was highlighted for its deep understanding of clients’ businesses, the professional expertise of its specialists, and its ability to manage complicated legal cases. Furthermore, the listing emphasized the acquisition of a logistics centre by VVT Property Fund II, where Properta served as legal advisor. Among the team members, Ilkka Koivisto, Heikki Tanner, and Lassi Kirves received special mentions.

In the Legal 500 rankings, Properta’s real estate team achieved a Tier 3 position this year, with the following comments:

“Properta Attorneys Ltd houses a broad real estate offering, regularly advising a diverse set of clients on the full gamut of contentious and non-contentious real estate and construction matters, from construction agreements and project contracts to real estate transactions and construction litigation.”

Additionally, Ilkka Koivisto was one of the Finns recognized in the “Leading Partners” category.

Just as in the Chambers Global 2025 ranking, Properta’s experts were included in Chambers Europe for the first time in Finland’s dispute resolution category, with our partner Martina Kronström earning a spot in the “Dispute Resolution” Band 4 category. Legal 500 also highlighted our extensive dispute resolution expertise, with Properta advancing from last year’s “Firms to Watch” mention to Tier 4. Legal 500 provided the following comments on our dispute resolution expertise:

“Under the guidance of Martina Kronström, boutique law firm Properta Attorneys Ltd covers a wide range of dispute resolution matters, ranging from litigation and arbitration proceedings to administrative appeals. The practice has a particular focus on the real estate and intellectual property sectors.”

Similarly, Properta’s entire IPR team was recognized, just as in the Chambers Global 2025 listing, earning a Band 2 ranking in the Intellectual Property category of the Chambers Europe and a Tier 2 ranking in the Legal 500. At the individual level, our partners Hanna-Maija Elo and Kukka Tommila were included in the Chambers Europe rankings, with Elo in Band 1 and Tommila in Band 3. The Legal 500 also named Elo and Tommila in its “Leading Partners” category. The Legal 500 summarized our expertise as follows:

“Properta Attorneys Ltd works with clients from multiple sectors, including retail, fashion, sports, and consumer goods, involved in contentious and non-contentious IP matters. The practice also covers trade mark disputes, design rights, copyright, and company name matters and represents clients in high-profile IP cases, including litigation at the Finnish Specialist IP Court and the IP Market Court.
