Ellen Schult Ulriksen

Partner Ellen Schult Ulriksen heads Haavind’s restructuring and insolvency practice team.

Ulriksen is a court-appointed trustee in bankruptcy and has handled many of the largest and most complex matters in Norway in recent years - including for companies operating on a global scale – which benefited from her considerable experience of cross-border insolvency issues. She regularly represents debtors and creditors in many of Norway’s most complex restructuring proceedings.

Ulriksen is one of very few practitioners to be appointed to lead proceedings under the new temporary Act on Reconstruction which was introduced to remedy the financial distress caused by Covid-19.

Ulriksen is a board member of the Norwegian Bar Association’s legal committee on the legal area of Bankruptcy, Debt Negotiations and Security. She is also a board member of the Norwegian Legal Education Association (“JUS”) for the legal areas of Bankruptcy, Debt Negotiations and Security. She is a recognised speaker within her area of law, both domestic and abroad. Her peers have voted Ulriksen to a 6th place in the 2020 rankings performed by the Norwegian Financial Daily's law firm review.
