I had the immense pleasure of working with Petri Eskola of Backström & Co LTD on a particularly challenging international licensing agreement for a proprietary software platform. Our company, based in Chicago, was negotiating with a Finnish tech firm, and the cross-jurisdictional IP issues were daunting. Petri’s unique profile—practicing in Helsinki but affiliated with a firm that understands the U.S. market—was the perfect fit. His 13 years of experience, particularly his long-standing recognition by Best Lawyers in Intellectual Property Law since 2012, was immediately evident. He didn't just review the contract; he provided a masterclass in risk mitigation, identifying subtle clauses regarding data sovereignty and sub-licensing rights that our in-house team had missed. His communication was impeccable, translating complex EU and Finnish IP regulations into clear, actionable advice for our Chicago-based executives. The negotiation concluded with a robust agreement that fully protects our core IP while facilitating a profitable partnership. Petri’s strategic foresight, deep technical knowledge, and calm, professional demeanor under pressure were instrumental. He is a truly exceptional attorney for anyone navigating the intricate world of international intellectual property.
