Mr Petter Thomren Moltu > Wiersholm > Oslo, Norway > Lawyer Profile

Wiersholm frequently assists debtors, banks and bondholders with restructurings in an ‘outstanding‘ manner, with sector-specific knowledge of the shipping, offshore and aviation industries. Group head Ståle Gjengset focuses his practice on advising industrial companies, financial institutions and investment banks on matters relating to financial restructurings, M&A and capital markets transactions. The team also includes Kristine Hasle, who is highly experienced in finance transactions and restructurings; debt financing expert Atle Gabrielsen; and Petter Thomren Moltu, who focuses on debt capital markets, banking and finance, and restructuring mandates. Ingrid Tronshaug joined the team in 2023 from Kvale Advokatfirma DA, and brings with her expertise in insolvency and restructuring law with a focus on bankruptcies.

Acting for both issuers and trustees, Wiersholm stands out for its strength across the full spectrum of capital markets work, handling a high volume of private placements, bonds, IPOs and listing mandates. Equity capital markets work is a particular area of expertise for the firm. A key name here is Anne Lise E. Gryte, who has ‘invaluable and unmatched‘ expertise across all aspects of ECM work; she now co-heads the team alongside bond markets specialist Petter Thomren Moltu. Tone Østensen has extensive experience advising on IPOs, rights offerings, and convertible bond issuances, while the ‘razor sharp‘ Sverre Sandvik divides his practice between M&A and capital markets transactions.
