The firm focuses on the systematic and strategic management and protection of brand rights, helping clients increase and protect brand value.

Kaulo & Partners, Licensed Legal Counsels, Ltd.

Overview

Founded in 2021, Kaulo & Partners is a Helsinki-based boutique law firm dedicated exclusively to the protection, commercialisation and enforcement of brand rights. The firm focuses on trademarks, trade names, copyright, domain names, design rights, anti-counterfeiting, trade secrets and related commercial agreements, helping clients build and protect the long-term value of their brands.

The firm has developed a distinctive, strategy-led approach, working closely with clients through bespoke brand rights strategies and proactive portfolio management. This emphasis on long-term partnerships has enabled the firm to establish a strong position in the Finnish market despite its relatively recent formation.

Kaulo & Partners advises a broad spectrum of clients across sectors including technology, consumer goods, fashion and luxury, food and beverage, life sciences, media, education and engineering. Its client roster includes notable Finnish and international businesses.

The firm is particularly recognised for its trademark enforcement and anti-counterfeiting capabilities. As an official partner of the global anti-counterfeiting network REACT, it handles infringement, customs seizure and enforcement matters for major international brand owners and regularly advises on complex disputes before Finnish and EU authorities.

Innovation is a key differentiator. The firm has developed KP LegalLandscape®, a proprietary SaaS platform designed to support efficient management of trademark and brand rights portfolios, while continuing to invest in new technology-driven services for clients.

Led by Managing Partner Jani Kaulo and Partner Maria Puronvarsi, the team combines deep trademark expertise with substantial experience in brand protection, portfolio strategy and litigation.
