Paula Sailas is a Partner, Licensed Legal Counsel, and European Trademark and Design Attorney at Berggren, based in Helsinki, Finland. She has built a long‑standing career advising companies of all sizes, from startups and growth companies to established and listed corporations, on intellectual property, trademarks, domain names, and brand protection.
Paula’s work focuses on the strategic management and enforcement of brands in increasingly complex legal and regulatory environments. She has extensive experience in trademark and domain name disputes and litigation, portfolio strategy, and enforcement matters, and regularly advises clients on marketing law, consumer protection, and copyright. Her practice often sits at the intersection of branding, marketing, and regulation, where legal compliance must support, rather than hinder, commercial objectives.
Known for her approachable easygoing style and strong business understanding, Paula is valued by clients for providing clear, practical advice tailored to real‑world decision‑making. Her expertise has been recognized internationally, including being named among Managing IP’s Top 250 Women in IP (2022 and 2025).
In addition to her legal practice, Paula is actively engaged in sustainability-related business matters. She has completed Marketing Finland’s Sustainable Communication and Marketing Certificate and is a member of Marketing Finland’d Sustainability Working Group, contributing to the development of more responsible and compliant business practices.
