Heidi Merikalla-Teir
Arbitrator - Mediator
Conflict Resolution


I act as an independent arbitrator and mediator in domestic and international commercial disputes.
I have over 20 years of experience in complex commercial disputes, informed by senior leadership roles within law firms and expert organisations.
I act as chair of arbitral tribunals, as party‑appointed arbitrator, and as sole arbitrator in arbitration proceedings, under a range of institutional and ad hoc rules. My work is guided by independent judgment, procedural integrity, and a clear, business‑minded understanding of the issues in dispute.
In addition to my work as arbitrator and mediator, I serve as a dispute board member and act as an early neutral evaluator.
I hold degrees in law (LL.M) and business (MBA).
I work in English, Finnish, and Swedish. While based in Helsinki, I act in matters across jurisdictions.
