About

Provided by Eversheds Sutherland

At Eversheds, we support our clients with both preventive risk management strategies and in-depth viability assessments for enterprises navigating financial distress. Our work extends far beyond traditional legal counsel: we offer comprehensive solutions that balance creditor protection with sustainable business continuity.

Our team advises on creditor safeguards, debt recovery strategies, and has decades of proven experience managing bankruptcy estates. Frequently appointed as administrators and supervisors in some of Finland’s most complex restructurings, our professionals have guided companies across diverse industries through challenging reorganizations. These mandates have included large-scale asset liquidations via business transfers, as well as the coordination and negotiation of voluntary arrangements between debtors and their creditors.

We have overseen landmark asset recovery cases and related criminal proceedings, drawing on unparalleled expertise in this highly specialized field. In our view, effective restructuring requires more than legal proficiency; it demands strong administrative capability, commercial insight, and the ability to reimagine operations for long-term viability. Our multidisciplinary team brings exactly this combination of skills to projects spanning technology, energy, biotechnology, construction, trade, mining, IT, and multiple service sectors.
