With our approach combining deep legal expertise and a solution-oriented mindset, we can help you navigate even the most complex financial challenges. Our team provides high-quality advice to both creditors and debtors in financial restructurings, particularly before — and to avoid — formal insolvency proceedings.
We can advise you on the restructuring of all types of financial instruments and obligations and guide you through discussions between debtors, creditors, shareholders, and other interested parties to build consensus around restructuring solutions. Our clients include domestic and foreign financial institutions, Finnish companies and their contracting parties, private equity investors, and other corporate finance parties.
Operating from Finland, we are ideally positioned to serve as local counsel for international parties involved in Finnish insolvency proceedings. Our deep understanding of Finnish insolvency law combined with our international experience makes us the natural choice for foreign parties navigating the Finnish legal landscape.
In addition to day-to-day assignment work, we are active participants in the restructuring and insolvency community, both in Finland and internationally. Our lawyers contribute to the development of insolvency law and practice through involvement in professional organisations and industry forums.
We always treat your assignment with the necessary discretion and importance: it is not our aim to be in the spotlight but to find the best possible outcome for you.
To ensure you get a seamless client experience, we have fully integrated our stellar M&A, finance, and dispute resolution capabilities into our restructuring and insolvency advisory services. Our lean team structure means you always receive partner-level attention throughout your matter, but we can also rapidly mobilise specialists from across the firm when your matter requires additional expertise or resources.
Moreover, we have strong relationships with leading law firms in many jurisdictions, enabling us to coordinate multi-jurisdictional matters effectively and provide you with best-in-class legal services wherever they are needed.
