Restructuring & Insolvency

Borenius’ Restructuring & Insolvency practice advises management, shareholders, creditors, and other parties when companies are unable to fulfil their financial and contractual obligations or need to adapt to change. A number of these cases involve a sizeable cross-border element. Expert advice from our lawyers, who are experienced in both in and out of court proceedings, is essential.

Insolvency work has been a cornerstone of our service offering since the 1990s. Our experienced professionals are known for providing bold and pragmatic, business-focused advice and real commercial results to our clients. Furthermore, our lawyers have acted as trustees and administrators in Finland’s largest bankruptcies and corporate restructurings, and we have been involved in multiple insolvency related Supreme Court decisions. These landmark cases are the foundation of our reputation in restructuring and insolvency.
