Legal Advice for Employee Relations

Polytronic has utilized Lindblad & Co’s legal advice mostly for employee relations.

“We have needed advice in a few staff-related matters. The first case was about a dispute over an old employment contract where a union lawyer contacted us. We were assisted by Minna Ravi of Lindblad & Co. Eventually, the case was settled in a satisfactory way to all parties,” says Jani Kaunisto, CEO of Polytronic Ltd.

“The other case was about an unfortunate but necessary layoff, and once again we were aided by Lindblad & Co.

We were greatly helped by Lindblad & Co, because such employment law related matters aren’t everyday business to us,” Kaunisto tells and adds up:
