A day in the life of a Senior Legal Counsel

Jul 15, 2025 By Amer Sports team 1 min read

Meet Salla Turkkinen, our Privacy & IT Senior Legal Counsel, as she invites us to experience a day in her shoes.

I start my day around 9 am and usually commute to the office, as I prefer the productive vibe it offers. After a quick check of overnight emails and setting priorities for the day, it’s time for coffee and a flexible to-do list. Structured yet adaptable – that’s the key.”

While no two days are the same, I usually participate in meetings with Asian colleagues before lunch and those in North America later in the day. My responsibilities vary daily; today, I reviewed IT service provider agreements, compiled data protection reports for Asia, created a budget proposal, and reviewed a root-cause analysis of a resolved incident. Working closely with the Cybersecurity team and privacy counsels makes my daily work fun.”

The best part of the day? Lunch! The location of our Helsinki office offers endless culinary opportunities, like today’s stop at the local market hall for some delicious soup.”

After work, I usually unwind with a gym session or a long walk with my dog to clear my head. However, today was special, as I head out for a ballet show at the Helsinki opera with a friend—the perfect way to end the day.
