Elina Pesonen

Practice Areas

My core competence is assisting our clients in all situations related to insolvency law. I have solid experience of several extensive bankruptcy and restructuring proceedings which are also noteworthy due to their international aspects. My experience includes both assisting the administrator of the estate and representing creditors. I also assist our clients in voluntary arrangements of debts, pledge enforcement cases, liquidation situations and in asset recovery matters.

In addition, I handle a variety of corporate and contract law assignments, with respect to which I have particular expertise in questions related to directors' liability and to consumer law.

I have participated in two secondments during which I worked as an attorney in the legal department of a large Finnish company.

In addition to my law degree from the University of Helsinki, I have studied business law at the ESADE private university in Spain. Chambers Europe has ranked me among the leading Finnish insolvency and restructuring attorneys, and Euromoney Legal Media Group listed me as a Rising Star in Finland in 2019.
