When a Finnish technology company needed to provide tax advice to employees and agents across multiple jurisdictions for a share issuance program, Ally Law’s network delivered coordinated, timely guidance that enhanced the company’s global employee relations.

An Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity company has grown from a small startup to a venture capital-backed enterprise with branch offices across Europe and the United States. The company uses agents in various jurisdictions, with India representing a key focus market.

Having represented this client for nearly a decade, Anni Alamettälä of Ally Law member firm Applex addressed their challenge related to a recent employee and agent share issuance. Based on feedback from previous share offerings, the company recognized that employees and agents outside Finland would benefit from jurisdiction-specific tax advice before deciding whether to participate.

Alamettälä coordinated with Ally Law member firms across all relevant jurisdictions, including Alerion (France), Berliner Cohen (Northern California, USA), BTG Advaya (India), Marti & Associats (Spain), and Thynne + MacCartney (Queensland, Australia). Each firm provided sharp, timely analysis of the tax consequences for participants in their respective jurisdictions, enabling informed decision-making across the client’s international network.

The coordinated effort accomplished multiple objectives: the client demonstrated genuine care for their global workforce while establishing ongoing relationships with Ally Law firms in key markets—particularly India, where the company continues expansion efforts. This case illustrates how Ally Law’s network can efficiently address specific, time-sensitive needs spanning multiple jurisdictions.
