Arntzen Grette‘s restructuring and insolvency practice is turned to by domestic and international banks, industrial groups, and corporates across a wide array of matters, including insolvency proceedings, creditor negotiations, and recovery litigation. Department head Thomas Fjell chiefly focuses on pre-insolvency mandates and financial restructurings. Vidar Løhre is adept at restructuring involving bond issues, while Øyvind Greaker Bjørndal is a name of note for corporate recovery in the energy and renewables space. Siril Visnes is equally recommended for her knowledge across distressed situations.
