does a company need a Finnish national to "sign"

Dh has been offered a job in Finland, he is a US citizen. The lawyers are saying that a company needs to have a Finnish citizen to be able to sign--i am assuming sign checks or decisions or something--anyway--i thought i read here that a foreign person could also sign.

Does anyone know about this? Thank you in advance!

Is that some sort of security or defence company? Or they have close relationship with the military, then I guess a Finnish citizenship is required.

hey Finnmom,
sign what??
sign his job papers?
There are no checks in Finland to sign for..
Decisions in a company need no signature unless he is the CEO..
But foreign person could sign for what??

If they're talking of a "procura", the law of procura doesn't say anything of nationality?
