Sara Holstila

I am a lawyer and licensed legal counsel specializing in criminal law and dispute resolution.

I serve clients in a wide range of criminal matters. I have expertise and experience in a wide range of sexual crimes, violent crimes, drug crimes and financial crimes. In the area of financial crimes, I am particularly interested in various types of debtor’s crimes. I have also gained experience in debtor’s crimes after several years of working in bankruptcy and other insolvency proceedings in various law firms and in The Office of Bankruptcy Ombudsman. I have therefore also acquired knowledge of legal issues related to insolvency law.

In the field of litigation, I have experience in various disputes concerning children, employment, and contract law, and I am happy to assist in matters such as child custody and access rights and employment law.

I have a Master of Laws degree from the University of Helsinki. In my studies, I have focused on criminal and procedural law. I have also passed the bar examination and have been admitted to practice as licensed trial counsel.
