DLA Piper Sweden’s restructuring and insolvency practice stands out for its ability to handle both domestic and multijurisdictional matters, including Swedish and US chapter 11 bankruptcies, restructurings, distressed debt financings, and winding up orders. The team has notable recent experience in the aviation, auto, retail, real estate, and energy sectors, among others. Practice head Jonas Premfors regularly acts as an administrator in bankruptcy estates, as a liquidator, and in relation to high-level company reorganisations. Erik Selander is noted particularly for his expertise in financial restructurings from a banking perspective, and Lars Wiking’s recent highlights include acting as administrator for a multinational solar energy company. Joakim Hedström and managing associate Sandra Andersson are also key contacts in the group.
