Our team, led by Partner Antti Husa, acted as legal advisor to Linkity Oy and its shareholders in a transaction that strengthens the company’s ownership structure through growth financing from Hartwall Capital. With this investment, Hartwall Capital becomes a significant shareholder, providing the resources to accelerate Linkity’s expansion.

Linkity Oy is a leading Finnish SaaS company revolutionizing payroll and workforce management with automation solutions for shift planning, time tracking, collective agreement (TES) interpretations, and payroll processing. Having grown at over 50% annually, Linkity is now poised for even faster expansion with the support of Hartwall Capital.

Antti-Pekka Vepsäläinen, Co-founder and CEO of Linkity Oy:
“Our long-standing collaboration with Eversheds Sutherland enabled highly smooth and dynamic process management. Their team’s strong experience and deep understanding of the unique characteristics of the SaaS business played a key role in efficiently executing the transaction alongside other advisors.”

Antti Husa, Partner at Eversheds Sutherland:
“It has been a pleasure to follow Linkity’s business development as an advisor for several years. The collaboration during this transaction was intense but always conducted with mutual respect among all parties involved. I believe that Linkity’s shareholders have gained an excellent ownership partner in Hartwall Capital, and with the agreed growth financing, the company is well-positioned to take its organization to the next level while continuing to expand and develop its industry-leading product.”

The transaction team, in addition to Antti, included Senior Associates Linda Stenroth, Lavinia Husa, and Petra Snäll, as well as Specialist Counsel Tiina Koivisto.
