Joining us is Emilia Hodge who is VP of Brand Advisory & Legal at Berggren. Emilia's expertise spans several industries, including fashion, food and beverages, consumer goods, and technology, allowing her to deliver bespoke solutions for clients across diverse sectors. Emilia previously served as in-house legal counsel for one of Finland’s largest clothing companies, where she gained valuable insight into the intersection of law and business.

Emilia is recognised for her expertise in IP law and has received several industry awards. She also co-authored the Fashion Law Handbook (Muotioikeus, 2024), which explores the evolving landscape of IP and commercial law.
