Practice Areas

Since early 1990 I've been one of the best known insolvency and restructuring lawyers in Finland. My core expertise is in the fields of mergers and acquisitions, insolvency administration, corporate restructuring and distressed M&A as well as in acting as a trustee and administrator of bankruptcy estates and restructuring proceedings. This has enabled me to deeply learn about various industries, from retail to construction, wholesale to food production, shipbuilding to mining industries.

I'm also routinely involved in corporate governance and corporate law as well as advising several private company boards both in Finland and abroad and chairing public company AGMs on a regular basis. I advise large family companies in their strategic development as well as in crafting and implementing solutions for company succession.

At Castrén & Snellman I've previously served as the Managing Partner for ten years and I have been a board member for 25 years. I'm extremely keen to take our profession further to ensure the best and highest quality of legal service to our clients.
