Lawyer Emmi Airaksinen has been appointed to her first Australian role at TSP — and brings with her seven years of legal experience, having worked as an employment and contract lawyer in her home country before making the move to Australia in 2018 to complete her Australian bachelor of laws at the University of the Sunshine Coast.
“In Finland, I was managing legal disputes in the workplace, but now I look forward to helping people who have been injured through no fault of their own and ensuring they get the compensation they deserve.”
TSP chief executive Kelly Phelps said that Ms Airaksinen would be a perfect fit for the firm.
“TSP is proud to offer Ms Airaksinen her first official position as a lawyer in Australia. Having attained a bachelor of laws and master of laws in Finland and a bachelor of laws in Australia, TSP is confident Ms Airaksinen is not afraid of a challenge and will do what it takes to achieve the best outcome for her clients,” she said.
“Culture is so important to us at TSP — while finding smart people is important, it is vital that our team fosters the same values and is driven towards our common mission of compensation with compassion.”
Ms Airaksinen said that the TSP values and culture were two things that drew her to the firm.
“I love that the TSP culture and success hinges on putting people before profits, making sure claimants feel not only respected and listened to, but also go home with the lion’s share of their settlement,” she said.
“Compensation law is very complex and time and time again the TSP team achieve incredible outcomes for their clients, I look forward to doing the same as I help people get through quite possibly the most difficult experience of their life. I also look forward to giving back to our local community, by volunteering at the Suncoast Community Legal Service in the near future.”
