We have advised Alma Media, a Helsinki-listed media group focusing on digital services and journalistic content, on its acquisition of Edilex Lakitieto, a legal information services provider, from Edita Group.

As a result of the transaction, Edilex Lakitieto Oy will become part of the Alma Marketplaces segment’s Legal Insights unit, whose service offering consists of digital legal information services. The product and service offerings of the parties complement each other well. Together, they can offer the most comprehensive suite of legal content services in Finland. Edilex's revenues were approximately €8m in 2024.

Edilex Lakitieto seamlessly enhances the service offering of the Alma Legal Insights unit. Together, we provide Finland’s most comprehensive legal content while strengthening our focus on developing digital platforms and improving user experience. We remain committed to being the preferred partner for authors and lecturers in publishing legal content. Our mission stays the same: to help lawyers and other legal professionals stay up-to-date and simplify their daily work with efficient tools.
Santtu Elsinen, EVP of Alma Marketplaces

We are proud to have acted as Alma Media's financial advisor in approximately 20 transactions over the past decade. It is always a pleasure to work with Alma's professionals and to delve into the latest trends in digital media.
