Navigating Financial Distress with Strategic Expertise
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.
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 practice covers the full spectrum of financial distress situations, from early-stage contingency planning through formal insolvency proceedings and beyond. We also handle enforcement matters relating to recovery proceedings, deal with insolvency-related disputes, whether litigation or out-of-court matters, and act as creditors’ committee members.
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. Our clients include domestic and foreign financial institutions, Finnish companies and their contracting parties, private equity investors, and other corporate finance parties. We excel at advising clients on the restructuring of all types of financial instruments and obligations and guiding clients through discussions between debtors, creditors, shareholders, and other interested parties to build consensus around restructuring solutions.
Our core team consists of Antti Nyberg, Heikki Majamaa, and Jan Lilius — the lean team structure means you always receive partner-level attention throughout your matter. At the same time, we can rapidly mobilise specialists from across the firm when your matter requires additional expertise or resources.
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.
Finland’s Gateway to Cross-Border Insolvency Matters
Operating from Finland, we are ideally positioned to serve as local counsel for international creditors, lenders, and other stakeholders involved in Finnish insolvency proceedings. Our deep understanding of Finnish insolvency law, combined with our international outlook and experience, makes us the natural choice for foreign parties navigating the Finnish legal landscape.
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.
