The legal department at eQ, a Finnish conglomerate that specialises in asset management and corporate finance operations, currently consists of three lawyers. The team is widely acclaimed for being a robust, dynamic and talented function and is credited for the successful navigation of several changes throughout eQ. As well as supporting the company, the legal department also take a proactive role in the wider finance industry. Spurred on by the difficult regulative environment, which has had a negative effect on both the financial industry and publicly listed companies, the legal team effectively implemented a revolutionary structure for the Finnish financial market. Using market knowledge, legal expertise and collaboration with peers, the team was able to create the first ever closed-end mutual fund structure used for private equity in Finland; gaining interest from the rest of the market for their ability to raise funds in such as a short period of time. The team was also at the helm of the successful acquisition and integration of ICECAPITAL Asset Management. In summary of their achievements, group general counsel Juha Surve explains: ‘It is fair to say that the legal team has played an instrumental role in eQ’s emergence as a top notch asset manager in Finland’.
