Dominant financial institutions including all major Nordic banks instruct co-head Mikael Magnusson, Carl Lindencrona handles a range of debt financing transactions, and co-head Jesper Kuschel leads on high-value real estate transactions for lenders and borrowers. Showcasing his industry reputation, Åke Fors is retained by major government bodies including the Swedish Central Bank to advise on export credit and multilateral lending issues.
