From Finland with love: a value-laden theory on quasi-criminal sanctions.

I am working with philosophy of law, and with all of my love. In short, my practical will is to bridge theory and practice, balance between:

1. raison d'être of the system and

2. its methodology.

To bridge these, my research handles the emergence of a more nuanced and context-sensitive proportionality analysis, which builds on value-laden interpretation. In this context, I advocate for a holistic, fundamental rights-driven, and effects-sensitive approach to legal argumentation.

I am part of the new ethics-driven generation and one of the leading experts in EU competition law in my home country. Throughout my studies, work and research, I have developed my understanding of Law  by utilising a coherence and argumentation-oriented perspective that offers a solid ground for in-depth analysis in complex legal matters. In theory and in practise, my main focus is on principled and interpretational questions relating to the Rule of Law.

My dissertation (2024) establishes a system ethical and individual liability compatible approach to quasi criminal punishments. It dives deep into competition law and theoretical questions alongside relating methodology. Namely, proportionality(+precaution) doctrine under the EU legal system's Rule of Law. 

On a general level, I focus in European law, and on a practical level, I work with the themes of competition and internal market law. In consulting, I bridge EU law and national law. I have consulting experience on the national and supranational level, e.g. on the interpretation of legal principles during exceptional circumstances, the interpretation of state aid regulation in relation to freedom of speech and public health, and regulatory issues in the digital markets (monopolies, SGEI, TFEU Articles 101 and 102).

Due to my multidisciplinary background and the context-sensitive features of proportionality analysis, my research covers normative and sociological questions rooted in human dignity; the former especially in relation to liberal tradition and EU law, and the latter, i.e. in relation to resource allocation and behavioural insights.

My study on legal interpretation is built on a philosophical approach that is underpinned by Kantian ideas, classical Greek philosophy and modern legal philosophy and theory.

In the context of European law and corporate environments, theoretical and practical philosophy serve my conceptual and methodological understanding of questions concerning e.g. moral agency and social responsibility.

I have studied, in the field of criminal sanctions and TFEU Article 101(1), e.g. questions concerning procedural fairness and individualisation of criminal sanctions. Currently, I am fascinated by digitalisation and its impact on the European legal culture and methodology of legal interpretation. ©
