We advise lenders (including banks, financial institutions and private credit funds), borrowers, management teams, and shareholders across the full range of domestic and cross-border financial arrangements – from acquisition financings and complex cross-border transactions to debt restructurings and large-scale renewable energy and infrastructure financings. We regularly act for international clients entering or investing in the Finnish and Nordic markets.
