Roschier stands out for its experience in high-value out-of-court restructurings; in particular the firm leverages its expertise in high-yield bonds to advise bond-financed companies on restructuring matters. Practice head Johan Häger has considerable experience handling loan and bond restructurings as well as cross-border reorganisations, regularly acting for domestic and international banks, private equity clients, and corporate borrowers. Carl Brodén’s finance practice regularly sees him advise on bankruptcies, reorganisations, and restructurings; alongside Niklas Eriksson, he recently led the firm’s representation of the largest shareholder in Viaplay in connection with the restructuring of the Swedish video streaming service. Markus Kern Fahlander and Axel Thörn-Kock are further key contacts to note.
