Andrea Galliano
I work at Genip Oy as an IP specialist and paralegal for trademarks and industrial designs. I also manage our office in Lahti.
I joined Genip Oy when the business of the Patent Law Firm Jaakko Väisänen was acquired by Genip Oy in 2017. Before that, I had been working at the law firm of Jaakko Väisänen in Hämeenlinna since 2014.
My professional background includes a wide range of roles in the legal and administrative fields:
2011–2013: Visa application processor and branch manager in Helsinki
2007–2010: Legal and finance department at a subsidiary of UniCredit S.p.A in Germany
2002–2007: Legal assistant at the law firm Rechtsanwälte Schönefelder, Lehners, Ziegler in Munich
1999–2002: Paralegal trainee at Rechtsanwälte Radtke & Collegen in Garmisch-Partenkirchen
I hold a Legal Administrator degree (Rechtsfachwirt) from Germany, following my initial qualification as a paralegal (Rechtsanwaltsfachangestellte).
In spring 2021, I completed a professional certification as a Trademark and Design Specialist (Marken- und Designreferent – IPforIP).
In autumn 2022, I successfully passed the European Patent Administration Certification (EPAC).
I am fluent in German, English, Finnish and Italian.
