Lawyer, Master of Laws, Deputy Managing Director

Saara Ylisaukko-oja
I am a lawyer at PsyJuridica and a Master of Laws by training. I have worked since 2012 in lawyer’s offices specialized in family law. Before transferring to PsyJuridica I worked at the lawyer’s office Juhani Salmenkylä Ky, assisting a lawyer with work connected to his assignments. Furthermore I have worked as a teacher for the access course of Artikla Ry, tutoring in tax law, labour law and criminal law.
In my work I am especially interested in family law, matters concerning children and criminal law. The topic of my dissertation concerned the criteria based on which custody battles are decided between equal parents. In my dissertation I researched the development of the legislation, the grounds for decision of the court regarding custody and the child’s housing as well as the special characteristics of a multicultural custody battle.
A warm encounter and functioning, easy communication between the lawyer and the client is important for me in my work. To me every client and judicial assignment is special, often they concern some of the most important things in the life and future of the client. A good familiarization with the background of the case creates the best conditions to succeed with the assignment.
I work fluently in Finnish and in English.
