Transactions

HPP Attorneys has extensive experience in advising on corporate transactions, including private and public M&A, joint ventures, mergers and demergers, spin-offs and group restructurings, share swaps and business divestments. Our M&A team is regularly engaged on both sell-side and buy-side mandates, both domestic and involving cross border aspects, advising strategic buyers, industrials and private equity funds as well as corporate finance advisers on the execution of Finnish M&A deals. We have experience of advising on public takeovers as well as advising listed company shareholders on defensive strategies relating to potential takeovers. We have significant experience of acting as Finnish counsel on global deals involving a large number of jurisdictions and of working with other leading transactions teams in other countries.
