Praised by clients as the ‘first call legal team’ for cross-border matters, BAHR’s insolvency and corporate recovery practice stands out for its strength in corporate restructurings, with a strong client base of Norwegian bondholders. Richard Sjøqvist oversees the team and leads on international financing and restructuring matters, while Magnus Tønseth specialises in shipping, offshore and energy sector restructurings. The practice is supported by a strong team of associates including Steffen Rogstad, who is a key name for complex negotiations for in and out-of-court restructurings; Daniel Jovanovic, who takes point on multi-jurisdictional restructurings and enforcement work, and restructuring expert Kristine Hjertenæs.
